In his new film, director Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished - a radical narration about race in America, using the writer's original words. He draws upon James Baldwin's notes on the lives and assassinations of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr. to explore and bring a fresh and radical perspective to the current racial narrative in America.
"...cause I am not a nigger. I am a man. And if you think I'm a nigger, means you need it... and you gotta find out why. And the future of the country depends on that..."
Powerful.. and unforgettable. This is a must see.
