I Am Not Your Negro
Release Date:
February 3
Director: Raul Peck
Cast: Samuel L.
Jackson, James Baldwin
Synopsis: In 1979, James Baldwin wrote a letter to
his literary agent describing his next project, Remember This House. The book
was to be a revolutionary, personal account of the lives and successive
assassinations of three of his close friends—Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin
Luther King, Jr.
At the time of Baldwin’s death in 1987, he left behind only thirty
completed pages of his manuscript.
Now, in his incendiary new documentary, master filmmaker Raoul Peck
envisions the book James Baldwin never finished. The result is a radical,
up-to-the-minute examination of race in America, using Baldwin’s original words
and flood of rich archival material. I Am Not Your Negro is a journey into
black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights movement to the
present of #BlackLivesMatter. It is a film that questions black representation
in Hollywood and beyond. And, ultimately, by confronting the deeper connections
between the lives and assassination of these three leaders, Baldwin and Peck
have produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands
for.
