Brother to Brother is a great inspiration not just for the black communities also for the thriving LGBT communities all around with gifted talents. There were important figures in the Harlem Renaissance such as Bruce Nugent, Langston Hughes, Aaron Douglas, Wallace Thurman, and Zora Neale Hurston. Those faced some of the challenges of of homophobia and racism back in the 1920s and still been going on with these hate crimes gotta end which will take time to make that change. I'm an aspiring actor, recording artist, writer, designer, photographer, and chef. I'm gifted with a lot of everything, my life is good except I have a huge secret.

The movie is told with subtle clarity of the Renaissance movement in flashbacks. The characters are transparent, believable and the narrative equates splendid. Love the title and Anthony Mackie is so assuring; his kisses and eye contact to his lover is so dope and realistic. He gives great work. He as a gay man wasn't overtly magnificent.#BrotherToBrother

A bit slow, the story idea was fabulous though. Maybe I should have waited to watch another time...
