My Brother A story of two impoverished inner city boys, brothers from different fathers. One brother, James, is developmentally disabled. The other, Isaiah, was told by his mother to always watch over his brother. Their unwavering bond, however, gets put to the test when one brother, who's trying to get free of an oppressive debt, falls prey to ruthless men, setting into motion life-threatening events that test their greater-than-blood bond. This leads to a decision that only an epiphany, and courage, can overcome

This film features performances by Vanessa Williams, Nashawn Kearse, Tatum O’Neal and introducing Christopher Scott and Donovan Jennings.
