Welcome Home Brother Charles (1975) - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - May 19, 1976

The feature film debut of cult filmmaker Jamaa Fanaka, who would go on to make the Penitentiary trilogy starring Leon Isaac Kennedy. This film's biggest claim to fame is the memorable moment when Brother Charles strangles a man to death using his monster-sized penis. Really.

I'm sure there is a scathing social, cultural, and political statement being made at that moment, but did anybody bother to take it seriously? Could it be taken seriously?

I haven't seen any of Fanaka's films and, maybe, I should remedy that by watching Welcome Home Brother Charles or the first Penitentiary, at least. Maybe.
