[edit] Synopsis
For years, the world has been run by "The Man", a faceless, soulless, funkless figure who controls everything from movies to politics in order to keep African-Americans disenfranchised. When The Man derails a black general's (Williams) presidential campaign, Undercover Brother (Griffin) comes to the rescue, aided by Sistah Girl (Eills), Conspiracy Brother (Chappelle), and fellow agents of The Brotherhood, who are lead by The Chief (Chi McBride). In Undercover Brother's way is Mr. Feather (Kattan), The Man's henchman, and White She-Devil (Richards), "the black man's kryptonite."
