Brotherhood of Man is a 1945 industrial film; a 11-minute animated short produced by United Productions of America (UPA). The short, considered by some as UPA's breakthrough production, is based upon The Races of Mankind, an anti-discrimination pamphlet written by Ruth Benedict and Gene Weltfis and printed and distributed by the Public Affairs Committee.
