BrotherMen, a one-hour performance-based documentary, features five African American men who, through their art, transmit the historic, political and cultural realities of the African American experience.

These BrotherMen are legendary songwriters Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, producers of "The Sound of Philadelphia"; photographer Chester Higgins Jr., who documents the African Diaspora in America and worldwide; choreographer David Rousseve, Vice Chair, World Arts and Cultures at UCLA; and the late Pops Staples, performer, civil rights activist and patriarch of the Staples Singers.
