I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO
In his final years, one of Americaās greatest writers envisioned a book about his three assassinated friends, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King. His deeply personal notes for the project had never been published before acclaimed filmmaker Raoul Peck mined them to compose his Academy Award-nominated documentary.
āThrillingā¦. A portrait of one manās confrontation with a country that, murder by murder, as he once put it, ādevastated my universe.āā āThe New York Times
Peck weaves these texts together, brilliantly imagining the book that Baldwin never wrote with selected published and unpublished passages, essays, letters, notes, and interviews that are every bit as incisive and pertinent now as they have ever been. Peckās film uses them to jump through time, juxtaposing Baldwinās private words with his public statements, in a blazing examination of the tragic history of race in America.
This edition contains more than 40 black-and-white images from the film.
