I Am Not Your Negro
“Masterfully addressing the American racial divide, past and present… a galvanizing, ominous film, thrumming with a sense of history repeating itself”~Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out NY
Aroview: A hit at the 2017 NZ Film Festival, this astonishing documentary examines the life and work of literary iconoclast James Baldwin. Based on his unfinished memoir "Remember This House", the film provides a unique and personalised history of 21st Century social and racial injustice, covering the Civil Rights Movement through it's leaders Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. as well as through the lives and deaths of the activists that were among Baldwin's friends. Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.
