DESCRIPTION
Using unpublished fragments of an unfinished book by James Baldwin, a famous Afro-American novelist and essayist, Raoul Peck tells a story of racial segregation, harassment, and Afro-Americans’ fight for equity. Peck correlates Baldwin’s lyrical rhetoric with substantial archive footage, and makes a connection the past of antiracist civic movements and contemporary actions of #BlackLivesMatter activists. He observes the representation of black-skinned people in Hollywood and reflects upon racist violence, which still pervades the United States. I Am Not Your Negro raises the question not only about the definition of being black in America, but also about what being different entails.
