Review of Brothers

Brothers (1977)
7/10
A forgotten gem
24 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This fine fictionalization of the lives of George Jackson and Angela Davis deserves much wider exposure. Brothers showed up recently on TCM Underground (in itself an undeserved marginalization of a serious film which is NOT 'blaxploitation'), the first time it had been aired on television in many years - and it has never been released on home video. Very much of its era, Brothers is anchored by committed performances from leads Bernie Casey, Vonetta McGee, and Ron O'Neal, and offers a searing and still timely indictment of America's racist justice system.
