ANOTHER BROTHER, a one-hour documentary produced and directed by Tami Gold, 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.

“ANOTHER BROTHER is an invaluable classroom tool for educators to explore the devastating impact of war through the story of one veteran. Across several disciplines, this documentary both engages and informs---but it does more than that: it gives students and educators a drive to take action!"
Matt Myer, Multicultural Coordinator - NYC Alternative High School Programs
"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
"Compelling! Depicts the richness of a hero who never stopped fighting for his country, community and people."
Job Mashariki, Executive Director -- Black Veterans for Social Justice
"Tremendous! An incredibly powerful film that 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 ... it’s more than the story of one man's life, it's a story about the power of redemption."
Bill Fletcher, Jr., Director of Education -- AFL-CIO
