Synopsis

Brownsville Black and White is the story of sixty years of Black/Jewish relations in the Brooklyn Community of Brownsville. The film is a poignant examination of group cooperation, urban change and social conflict as told through the personal histories of those who lived there. Brownsville is the first of two films dealing with inter-ethnic relations in the U.S., left unfinished after the untimely death of the director Richard Broadman. A small group of friends and colleagues completed the film after his death.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
