Portland Black Film Festival: 2/24/20

I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO: In this incendiary documentary, master filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book that writer James Baldwin never finished, about the lives and successive assassinations of three of his close friends – Malcolm X, Medgar Evers, and Martin Luther King Jr. The result is a radical, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America, using Baldwin’s original words (narrated by Samuel L. Jackson), and a flood of rich archival material. I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO connects the past of the Civil Rights Movement to the present of the Black Lives Matter movement and challenges the very definition of what America stands for.
