On February 21, 1965, two Bengali brothers have just opened a Halal butcher shop in Harlem. They have been hired to cater an event at the Audubon Ballroom at which the keynote speaker will be rising star of the Civil Rights Movement, Malcolm X. Inspired by the documentary “In Search of Bengali Harlem,” The Halal Brothers is a layered portrait of Harlem in the 1960s, the cultural clashes and harmonies between its residents, and the push-pull immigrants feel between their new lives and old lives — all against the backdrop of this very pivotal day in Harlem and American history.
