The Brothers of Rondo Trailers

The Brothers of Rondo. The film, directed by Francis Sampah, chronicles the life stories of four men -- Lewis Scott, Russel T. Balenger, Readus W. Fletcher, Carl Griffin -- who grew up in the Rondo neighborhood of Saint Paul, enrolled at Minnesota State University Moorhead, and went on to become leaders in their respective areas of work and study. Their stories demonstrate the importance of Black culture and community, and how the Rondo neighborhood -- and its destruction for the construction of I-94 -- were instrumental in laying a foundation of resilience in their lives. In the face of displacement, racism and economic adversity, the Brothers channeled lessons learned in Rondo to make a profound impact in their careers, communities, and the state of Minnesota.

Reviews
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
