Together Brothers is a 1974 American film directed by William A. Graham and starring Ahmad Nurradin and Anthony Wilson.[1] The film is about a gang of street youths who try to expose a cop killer before he gets to a child who witnessed the murder.

Plot

In one of the poorer neighborhoods of Galveston, TX, a popular and respected black police officer nicknamed Mr. Cool (Ed Bernard) dies in a hail of bullets, and the only witness to the crime is 5-year-old Tommy (Anthony Wilson). The killer, face unseen, reluctantly attempts to shoot the boy, but the gun is empty. Tommy is struck mute by shock and the killer begins stalking him.

However, Tommy's older brother H.J. (Ahmad Nurradin) is the leader of a small local gang of Black and Latino youths called "Brothers United." The gang members make it their mission to protect Tommy while simultaneously working to bring Mr. Cool's unknown killer to justice. Mr. Cool's killer is later revealed to be a transgender child molester, whose revenge was motivated by having been arrested and publicly shamed by Mr. Kool when the officer was working undercover at a house party.
