I Am Not Your Negro - James Baldwin

The New York Times bestseller based on the Oscar nominated documentary film In June 1979 the writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin embarked on a project to tell the story of America through the lives of three of his murdered friends: Medgar Evers Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. He died before it could be completed. In his documentary film I Am Not Your Negro Raoul Peck imagines the book Baldwin never wrote using his original words to create a radical powerful and poetic work on race in the United States - then and today. 'Thrilling . . . A portrait of one man's confrontation with a country that murder by murder as he once put it devastated my universe' The New York Times 'Baldwin's voice speaks even more powerfully today . . . the prose-poet of our injustice and inhumanity . . . The times have caught up with his scalding eloquence' Variety 'A cinematic seance . . . One of the best movies about the civil rights era ever made' Guardian 'I Am Not Your Negro turns James Baldwin into a prophet' Rolling Stone
