Synopsis:

Little Brother:  The Fire Next Time is Chapter 4 of the film series that features young Black boys and their thoughts on Love. This chapter was filmed in Muskogee, OK, where the Cherokee Nation and the Descendants of Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes have been in court concerning the Freedmen’s rights as Cherokee citizens.  Our young African Cherokees present a candid discussion on love, tribe, family, and race.

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.

Supported [in part] by a grant from the Open Society Foundations/Campaign for Black Male Achievement.
