The Last Brickmaker in America (2001)


Can friendship bring purpose and joy to the lives of two unlikely people?

After pouring 57 years of sweat and blood into his family's brickyard, Henry Cobb's (Academy Award® winner Sidney Poitier) passion for work is replaced by grief from his wife's death and fear of automation's increasing hold on American manufacturing.

12-year-old Danny Potter's parents have just divorced and he needs refuge from their bickering. When Danny and Henry meet, Henry becomes a mentor to the boy, becoming the role model Danny so desperately needs. As their friendship blooms, Danny rejuvenates Henry's passion for life.
