7:30 pm–9:45 pm

May the Lord Watch is the definitive story of Little Brother, the North Carolina rap group comprised of members Phonte and Big Pooh (and formerly producer 9th Wonder). This legendary underground duo bridged the gap between the Roots and Kendrick Lamar, A Tribe Called Quest and J. Cole, De La Soul and Drake. The film follows the rise, breakup, and reunion of the preeminent 2000s group, but the heart of the documentary lies in the unfolding relationship between Phonte and Big Pooh, which began at the historically Black North Carolina Central University in Durham, strained while the two came of age together in the music industry, and resolved with an enduring friendship as the two men reunited and made their 2019 album, May the Lord Watch.
