Brother Ezekiel is a brief snapshot in the life of a black man travelling across North America in the mid-1960s. Pulling into a generic motel, all he can think about is getting a warm meal and a bed for the night. The white locals have other plans however, from the passive aggressive motel receptionist and to the little girl in the restaurant who wants nothing more than to be Ezekiel’s friend. His goal of a peaceful night is shattered when he opens himself up to the young girl’s offer of friendship, ultimately resulting in tragedy.
