The White Bruh – with Filmmaker Q&A

Kelly Gardner was raised amongst black people and he admired black role models who were members of one of the oldest black college fraternities. For 17 years he was denied membership until he finally proved himself worthy. His line brothers whom he pledged with were anything but welcoming at first but after seeing Kelly’s sincerity and work ethic they became lifelong friends. The White Bruh is a documentary that reveals what it was like for Kelly to join the fraternity and what his life is like as one of the few white members.

Kelly’s fond memories of his relationship with his high school teammate Allen Iverson is discussed.

This documentary is a feel-good story of how race does not have to be a barrier to friendship and brotherhood.

This will be a 90-minute program featuring a 32-minute short film and post film Q&A.
