TRAILER
BrotherSpeak is an award winning five-part series, originally published on the Washington Post’s website, that asks a range of black men to explore their deepest thoughts, feelings and aspirations in search for a conversation and answer to this question.
Fear
Times change, but the fear of black men endures. But black men have fears, too. As fathers, husbands and brothers, they fear for their sons, daughters and themselves. This is a story of duality of fear.
LOVE
Love means many things to many people, whether it's romantic love, love of community or brotherly love. In this episode of BrotherSpeak, we hear from a pastor, an underground hip-hop artist, a former NFL football player and others who delve into the three dimensions of what love means to them, as brothers, fathers, sons and creators.
DREAM
Whether it is Barack Obama, Martin Luther King Jr or Langston Hughes, the notion of the "Dream" has had transcendent power for black Americans broadly and black men in particular.
FERGUSON
On August 9, 2014, an unarmed 18 year old, Michael Brown, was shot and killed by a Ferguson, MO police officer. BrotherSpeak explores the hurt, anger and hope expressed by some of the black male residents, protestors and activists from the Ferguson area and nationwide.
RAGE
It is one of the most enduring stereotypes in America: the angry black man. But the Rage that black men often feel is nuanced and comes from a place of deliberation mixed with considered experience.
FREEDOM
In the summer of 2016, the BrotherSpeak team embarked on a journey to expand the BrotherSpeak concept by giving voice to other communities. Using a similar storytelling style and production values the pilot episode is called "Speak" and the first episode asks five men from Washington, recently released from prison, what "Freedom" means to them.
