Go Black Boy; Fly! is a narrative feature-length film, adapted from the poetic novella by the same name. GBBF is the story of four brothers fighting to survive and thrive in Newark, N.J. This story takes viewers on an epic adventure as these four boys journey from Newark, NJ to Greensboro, NC by bicycle in mama’s desperate attempt to redirect her boys to pursue a boundless and bright future much different than the reality that the boys see around themselves daily. And what an adventure it is: bicycling across state lines, hiking through dense forests, sleeping in tents, spending long nights under the stars, laughing together, pillow fights, crying together, adopting stray animals, only barely escaping the grasp of certain doom, and all without their cellphones in tow — mama’s orders.
​
Of all the things to be discovered, on this journey, for these four brothers, the greatest odyssey proves to be the odyssey and discovery of self.
