Brothers

A well meaning but ultimately flawed depiction of the atrocities Black Americans suffered as prisoners in our jail system during the early 70's. The late, great Bernie Casey portrays our hero who is imprisoned for an armed robbery he knew nothing about (he drove while his passenger committed the crime unbeknownst to him) & what was supposed to be a year sentence increased as the realities of his incarceration were decidedly stacked NOT in his favor. Missing more time than it actually hits, Brothers nearly gets there. Loosely based an actual incident involving activist Angela Davis. I would strongly recommend this one for a decent remake.
