Part.2

The Black Man Film Festival will be Presenting a talk with the authors and designers of Brotherman; as well as special clips from the upcoming film release - "Brotherman the Dictator of Discipline"

for those of you who don't know about Brotherman, he's been around in the comic book realm for quite a while. he is the brainchild of a talented group of African American artists and cartoonists.

Brotherman is an Assistant District Attorney in Big City by Day; and a Crime Fighter by night. quite a combination for a Blackman. The Storylines and lessons metted out by Brotherman are life enriching examples of Good vs. Evil.

Today's Short Chat with Brother Yemi focuses on the History of the Festival and of course Brotherman and his creators.
