Client
The Brothers of Rondo, directed by Francis Sampah, highlights the lives of Lewis Scott, Russel T. Balenger, Readus W. Fletcher, and Carl Griffin. In the face of displacement, racism, and economic adversity, channeled lessons learned in Rondo to make a profound impact in their careers, communities, and the state of Minnesota.
Their unique stories demonstrate the importance of Black culture and community, and how the Rondo neighborhood — and its destruction for the construction of I-94 — were instrumental in laying a foundation of resilience in their lives.
