Many at-risk youths see negative lifestyles such as hustling drugs as the only real alternatives open to them. Introspective in tone, this documentary presents a different point of view through the emotional journey of at-risk young black men attending an intensive retreat led by older black men whose life experiences qualify them as powerful mentors for positive personal change. Overall, the participants come away with a stronger sense of themselves, a new bond of brotherhood as a group, and a feeling of connection with elders who have faced similar circumstances and succeeded in turning their lives around.
"Brother 2 Brother revolves around Cory - now the father of a three-year-old son - as he tries to reconcile the life he knows with his desire to be a responsible father and a supporting partner. Central to the film is the transformative power of a weekend retreat for young Black males, organized by BROS (the Brothers Reaching Out Society), together with the film's director, Russell Wyse."
