My Brother Jordan

My Brother Jordan weaves honest interviews and precious home movies into a story of a family blitzed by loss.

This doc is palpably cathartic. Anyone with a modicum of experience with loss will grieve along with Justin, rejoice in his joyful memories, and understand his process.

If the relationship between Jordan and Justin (or Jordan and literally anyone interviewed) teaches anything, it is to love with reckless abandon.

When you love big, you hurt big. But Justin tells us that that's OK and the reward far outweighs the risk.

Justin's editing is rife with impeccable comic timing and lingering moments, allowing the pain of loss to breathe. A brilliant tribute to a man who, even in death, makes us feel like family.

There is no way to accurately describe this film, you just have to watch it. It is an experience that takes you through the life of an amazing human being, Jordan Robinson, through the lens of the people whose lives he impacted for the better, especially his younger brother Justin. It serves as the highlight reel of an exceptional life cut far too short, and encompasses the innocent joy of childhood, intense living room boxing matches and driveway basketball games, hilarious homemade movies featuring even more hilarious costumes, the journey from a below average high school basketball player to the star of the team, and the tragic robbery of life at the hands of an infamous affliction. If you watch this film, you probably didn't know Jordan. But after watching it, you feel as if you did. That's the real power of this documentary. It allows you to feel the positive impact of a person you've never even met. After watching this, although it sounds cliché, you will truly appreciate the loved ones around you so much more and live life to the fullest, because that's exactly what Jordan did his entire life.

"My Brother Jordan" is a deeply moving film that touches on life, death, and the game of basketball. More than anything it is a story of a brother's unending, selfless love. 100% Recommend.

A beautiful and humble reminder of what humanity is truly about. Engaging, well edited, thoughtful.

This film tore me apart, built me back up and tore me apart again. 100% recommend.
