Philadelphia 2026 premier dateS coming soon…
the Sold out world premier screening took place at williamsburg cinemas on october 4, 2025 for the 18th annual bushwick film festival.
"The Art of Brotherly Love" is a documentary that follows contemporary artist and storyteller Rah Crawford as he uncovers a powerful, untold chapter of American history: the Ganges Incident—the 1800 rescue of 135 enslaved Africans by the USS Ganges in Philadelphia.
What begins as a research thread evolves into "Gangee – A Love Story", Crawford’s original screenplay that reimagines the humanity, resistance, and romanticism buried within this real event. His artistic vision becomes the driving force behind Project Gangee, a multifaceted cultural initiative designed to honor this moment in history through art, storytelling, and engagement.
