*Third World Newsreel is proud to announce the release of LITTLE BROTHER: THE FIRE NEXT IME, the next installment of Nicole Franklin and Jasmin Tiggett's short documentary series dedicated to giving Black boys a unique voice.* "This endearing documentary series presents Black boys as dignified and fully human, which makes Little Brother an exception, rather than the rule." - Byron Hurt, Film Director, Beyond Beats and Rhymes, Soul Food Junkies, Barack & Curtis LITTLE BROTHER is a series of short documentary films dedicated to giving Black boys a unique voice. Beginning in 2010, filmmakers Nicole Franklin and Jasmin 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. LITTLE BROTHER: THE FIRE NEXT TIME 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 wonderful documentary film series that gives young black boys a real platform to talk about an array of subjects - love, life, and simply put, how they see the world around them." - Shannon Effinger, Society HAE "Our culture comes through in our youth, and we're motivated by young people doing great things... You'll definitely feel the experience of Little Brother." - COMMON, Rapper, Actor & Activist Nicole Franklin | 2014 | 17 min | documentary | $75 http://www.twn.org/catalog/pages/cpage.aspx?rec=1373&card=price ALSO AVAILABLE Little Brother: Things Fall Apart (Chapter 1) Little Brother: Things Fall Apart is the first installment in the series.
