The 2007 movie "My Brother" is set in which city?

The 2007 movie “My Brother” is set in New York City.

“My Brother” is an American drama directed by Anthony Lover. The story follows Isaiah and James, two brothers growing up in an impoverished New York City environment. Their bond is tested by poverty, racism, family hardship, and Isaiah’s developmental disability, while their mother works to protect and support them.

The film moves between the brothers’ childhood and adult lives, showing how their mother’s efforts shape their character and relationship. Vanessa Williams plays their mother, L’Tisha Morton, while Nashawn Kearse portrays Isaiah as an adult. The movie had a U.S. theatrical release in March 2007, although some databases list it as a 2006 production.

The title can cause confusion because another 2007 film, the Italian drama “My Brother Is an Only Child,” is set in Latina, Italy. That is a different movie entirely. “My Brother,” the American film starring Vanessa Williams, is the one associated with New York City.
