This 2017 Oscar nominee for Best Documentary envisions the book James Baldwin never finished - a radical narration about race in America, using the writer’s original words. "Bursts with fierce urgency, not just for the long-unresolved history it seeks to confront, but also in its attempt to understand what is happening here, right now. - Washington Post
"A cinematic séance, and one of the best movies about the civil rights era ever made." - The Guardian (U.K.)
"An enormously resonant work of cultural history that should do much to renew attention to the lonely, prophetic voice of James Baldwin." - Salon
Director Raoul Peck 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. Rated PG-13, 93 mins.
