Sci-Fi / Fantasy Discussion Group
1984 movie "Brother From Another Planet"
A mysterious young black man lands in Harlem, unable to speak and possessing telekinetic and psychic powers. He is embraced by the community when they discover his gentle nature and uncanny ability to repair machinery. Little do the locals know, the young man has escaped from another planet and is pursued by caucasian “hunters”.
The movie is available for rental on Amazon and other places.
At the end of the meeting, we will choose a movie or video for our April meeting.
