MY BROTHER'S CROSSING tells the true story of C. J. Martin, an African American pastor, and J. T. Clark, an unbelieving caucasion man, as their paths cross after a tragic accident involving Martin in August 2015. The movie takes place shortly after Ferguson and the racial unrest during the Missouri riots in August 2014. Estranged from his Christian family, Clark feels convicted of his previous beliefs about love, forgiveness and, ultimately, his faith. Meanwhile, Martin struggles with feelings of guilt and fear as the community begins to take sides for and against him. Martin must choose between letting doubt overtake him or accepting forgiveness from an unlikely source.
MY BROTHER'S CROSSING is an inspiring story about the power of forgiveness. It stresses the importance of God, attending church, Scripture, prayer, and loving your neighbor. The movie explores the racial tension in Virginia following Ferguson and the Missouri riots of August 2014, and its impact on Clark and Martin's story. The movie contains some editing and sound mistakes, but the inspirational true story and focus of Jesus allows MY BROTHER'S CROSSING to explore many Christian themes endearingly. Due to some violence and depictions of riots, MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for younger children.
