Sista in the Brotherhood is a 20-minute, narrative, short film about a black tradeswoman who faces discrimination on a new job site and who must choose between making a stand or keeping her job. The story follows apprentice carpenter (Sidony O'neal) who struggles to prove herself on her first day at a new job site. An outlier in a white, male-dominated workforce, she's forced to navigate the crew's reactions to her. When tensions arise, she receives inspiration from a surprising source to help her decide to either make a stand or risk never being recognized as the skilled worker she has become.

Inspired by doctoral thesis of Dr. Roberta Hunte entitled "My walk has never been average: Black tradeswomen negotiating intersections of race and gender in long term careers in the United States"
