The Brother From Another Planet (1984)
Directed by John Sayles
Starring Joe Morton, Rosanna Carter and Ray Ramirez
An alien crash-lands on Earth, in New York City. While mute, strongly
empathic, and able to fix things, he resembles a Black man with strange feet. His attempt to make a place for himself in Harlem
is an allegory for the immigrant experience in the United States. Meanwhile, two bounty hunters from the Brother's home planet
arrive and try to capture him.
