(1977) Brothers
POLITICAL DRAMA
Loosely based on actual events in when segregation was practiced within the American prison system, when Caucasian inmates are treated better than anyone who are not white. Bernie Casey stars as David Thomas sentenced harshly for a small offense as he learns about injustice once he is put in the same cell as Walter Nance (Ron O'Neal synonymous for Super Fly fame) hence the tile "Brothers" as he refers to all African American inmates.
A time that is often denied to ever happened within American prisons, not often discussed enough, nor is it even acknowledged. It'd be nice if there was like actual acknowledgement or live- in interviews within the African American inmates themselves.
