Synopsis:  The second chapter of Little Brother takes place in Chicago and is filmed entirely on the iPhone4.  With an introduction by actor/Hip-Hop artist COMMON, Little Brother: The Street visits young men on Chicago’s South Side to discuss their thoughts on peer pressure, family dynamics, dating, the perceived media assault on their community and staying safe on the streets. 

A conversation that will save a generation.

LITTLE BROTHER is a series of 15-minute documentary films dedicated to giving Black boys a unique voice. Beginning in 2010, filmmakers Nicole Franklin and Jai Tiggett started taking an annual look at Black boys as young as nine years old for a one-on-one conversation demystifying what society tends to rob them of: LOVE.

The films and curriculum are available for educational institutions, houses of worship, for-profit and not-for-profit corporations, as well as home video use. The film team is available for in-person appearances accompanying screenings. These Little Brother forums are titled An EPIPHANY Conversation and are fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas.  Join the discussion and visit our Facebook Fanpage at www.Facebook.com/LittleBrotherFilm.
