Maurice Hines: Bring Them Back

The 94-minute documentary is a portrait of the charismatic song-and-dance man from his tap-dancing childhood to today. Maurice and friends — including Chita Rivera, Mercedes Ellington and Debbie Allen — tell tales from his seven-decade career (from Broadway productions to Hollywood films such as Francis Ford Coppola’s The Cotton Club). The film also sheds light on Maurice’s loving yet difficult relationship with his superstar brother, the late Gregory Hines. Ever battling the challenges of being a gay, black man in showbiz, Maurice shares his story with humor and grace.
