Living in poverty, Sanola (jokingly called "X Jr." by friends) is filmed interacting with other African American Natchez residents and neighborhood children. A former tree surgeon, Sanola is now a disoriented and disillusioned alcoholic. He discusses poverty, welfare, work, child abuse at the hand of his mother, and his household. Additional segments include the "Community Calendar" and a narrated segment in which associate producer Barbara Barrow states that next season, Say Brother will broaden its perspective to include all Third World people.
