    I Am Not Your Negro2017

    Dokumentarec

    Leta 1979 si je priznani pisatelj James Baldwin zadal kompleksno nalogo: povedati svojo zgodbo o Ameriki skozi življenja treh umorjenih prijateljev: Malcolma X, Martina Luthra Kinga in Medgarja Eversa. Režiser Raoul Peck je nikoli dokončani rokopis spremenil v silovit kolaž besed, podob in glasbe, ki s pomočjo arhivskih posnetkov Baldwinovih javnih nastopov, pomembnih trenutkov iz ameriške zgodovine ter pomenljivih odlomkov iz hollywoodskih klasik ustvari radikalno in še kako aktualno pripoved o tem, kaj pomeni biti črn v Ameriki. Globoko oseben, ganljiv in poetičen, a kot britev oster filmski esej prikaže Ameriko skozi oči ikone gibanja za pravice temnopoltih, karizmatičnega in vizionarskega Jamesa Baldwina.
