The Brother from Another Planet
John Sayles crafted this low-budget gem paralleling the immigrant experience in America. <div><br></div><div>Crash landing on Ellis Island, The Brother (portrayed by the ever-talented Joe Morton) is a mute space alien resembling a Black human man. With the help of his community, he secures housing and employment. Meanwhile, bounty hunters are attempting to capture him regardless of the fact that he's a valued contrubuting member of his new society. </div><div><br></div><div>When Central Cinema staff member Liz picked the film for September's Staff Picks, her second choice was "any other John Sayles movie." While all are worthy additions to cinema, it's Liz's first choice that feels incredibly powerful and relevent in this day and age. Central Cinema's brick and mortar surroundings may be the perfect environment for experiencing this cinematic cult favorite. </div>ComedyPT1H48M2026-09-11USenJoe Morton
