I Am Not Your Negro, Raoul Peck's acclaimed film and book based on an unfinished James Baldwin project, has been named Best Documentary at the 2018 British Academy Film Awards.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Peck and narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, the film is based on Baldwin’s unfinished manuscript, Remember This House, about his three assassinated friends, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King.
The film brings together Baldwin’s deeply personal notes for the project with his public statements and interviews to create a radical, powerful and poetic work on race in the United States – then, and today.
