James Baldwin in Raoul Peck's vision


So proud to have worked with this unique filmmaker...

Raoul Peck has taken ten years to foresee and write his documentary film on James Baldwin, but also on Martin Luther King, on Malcom X and on America in the twentieth century. 

Based on an unfinished text by the incomparable writer, the film is a real journey into his mind and fights.

Masterpiece. And a must see

Summary presentation:

In his new film, director Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished - a radical narration about race in America, using the writer's original words. 

He 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.


"One of the best movies you are likely to see this year."
- Manohla Dargis, The New York Times


In theatres in the U.S. on February 3rd
