Logline
On an overnight camping trip, a troop of Black Brownie scouts confronts a rival troop — and the encounter unsettles everything they thought they knew.
Originally conceived as Aisha Ford's NYU thesis film and executive produced by Spike Lee and acclaimed author ZZ Packer, BROWNIES is an intimate coming-of-age drama exploring identity, leadership, self-determination, and the quiet acts of courage that shape a young girl into herself.
