ANOTHER
BROTHER is a moving biographical mosaic of one ordinary yet
extraordinary man, Clarence Fitch. An African American veteran
of the Vietnam War, Clarence was like many veterans in the
hardships he endured – racism, poverty, substance abuse,
and HIV/AIDS – yet uncommon in his ability to transform
these
experiences through a life of political activism. In telling
Clarence's gripping personal story, the film provides a unique
window onto the Vietnam War, racism in America, and a host
of social problems which have ravaged America for the past
three decades. The film is narrated chiefly by Clarence in
an audio taped interview by William Short, a fellow Vietnam
veteran, before Clarence’s death from AIDS in 1990.
Produced
and Directed by Tami Gold

"As
one who has spent many years doing documentary work, I want
to salute those who assembled ANOTHER BROTHER. It is an important
document of a difficult life and should be seen by the widest
possible audience."

"Inspiring
documentary which recounts the tale of a black Vietnam War
vet who returned home to Jersey City and somehow managed,
even though he was battling heroin addiction and AIDS, to
become an antiwar activist, high-school mentor and community
leader - a Reel American hero."
Jessica
Lustig, TIME OUT NEW YORK |

"Excellent!
This is an engrossing and intelligent look at the life of
one man during war and peace, ably directed by Tami Gold,
a longtime friend of Fitch."
Matt
Zoller Seitz, THE STAR LEDGER |

"A
compelling, must see documentary of the Vietnam War period,
Blacklife, and a social commentary that depicts the richness
of a hero who never stopped fighting for his country, community
and people."

Justice |

"Tremendous!
An incredibly powerful film that brings contemporary history
to life. ANOTHER BROTHER follows the complex and often difficult
life of Clarence Fitch, who despite great adversity was able
to retain hope and commit himself to social change. This
illuminating film is more than the story of one man's life,
it's a story about the power of redemption."
