I Am Not Your Negro: A Companion Edition to the Documentary Film Directed by Raoul Peck by James Baldwin, Raoul Peck

4.0

Finally got around to watching the film on Kanopy and wow… just in awe of James Baldwin. I really enjoyed reading this (definitely watch the documentary first before as it’s essentially the screenplay/transcript). I felt pretty sad knowing that Baldwin never got to finish the book that the documentary is based off of, but it’s moving to see how his words (taken up by Raoul Peck) have been given new urgency and meaning in this form.
