An intimate exploration of the lives of a group of men in the Catholic Church called, "Religious Brothers" or Monks, who live the vows of Chastity, Poverty, and Obedience. Devoted to God through their ministry and prayer, they strive to make a difference in the world by being present and available to the people and communities they serve. Some would say that they are the best-kept secret in the Catholic Church, but what does it really mean to be a 'BROTHER'? The filmmakers traveled around the United States, Ghana, Brazil, Bangladesh, and India to tell their stories. With the challenges of clericalism, the abuse scandals, and the evolving secular culture, the film investigates these challenges, and the impetuses in the counter-cultural lifestyle they choose to live. These Brothers have been considered as a minority or as second class citizens throughout the history of the Catholic Church. With their diminishing numbers due to their aging communities and the lack of vocations, they are somewhat of a dying breed. Utilizing the research from the National Religious Vocations Conference (NRVC) and (CARA) the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University, BRO focuses on brothers in the U.S. where Brothers are diminishing in numbers, and in Ghana, Brazil, Bangladesh, and India where the brothers are thriving. How are they distinct from the Catholic priests? Why did they decide to become a BROTHER, and why do they continue to be one despite their diminishing numbers? What empowers them as they live their vows in a secular world? BRO addresses these questions as it uncovers why they are the men with hope to bring. BRO is for all audiences.
