WRITTEN BY JAMES BALDWIN, WITH THE VOICE OF SAMUEL L. JACKSON
“UNMISSABLE AND UNFORGETTABLE.” – ROLLING STONE
Master filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished, Remember This House. The result is a radical, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America, using Baldwin’s original words and flood of rich archival material. I Am Not Your Negro is a journey into black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights movement to the present of #BlackLivesMatter. It is a film that questions black representation in Hollywood and beyond. And, ultimately, by confronting the deeper connections between the lives and assassination of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., Baldwin and Peck have produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for.

High Schools. God save america
Amazon recommended this movie, and let me watch it for free, since I am a “Prime” member. Bless ‘em, they picked an excellent movie. Baldwin’s written words sear, the pictures far more so. One of the documentary’s central themes is the murder of three men: Medgar Evers, Malcom X and Martin Luther King. All three were murdered before their 40th birthdays, for racial reasons. Samuel L. Jackson (who I first admired in Pulp Fiction: A Quentin Tarantino Screenplay ) is the narrator of the words of James Baldwin when he first learned of each of their deaths. Jackson is absolutely superlative.
But Baldwin “speaks for himself,” via old film footage. Again and again I was impressed with his articulation of the “American Dilemma,” to use the expression from Gunner Myrdal’s classic analysis. Clips show Baldwin on the Dick Cavett Show, and they are discussing the improvements (or not) in race relations: Cavett quips that Negroes are now even in commercials! I found Baldwin to be extremely impressive in debates at Cambridge. Baldwin was not a joiner, as Jackson narrates, not even the NAACP, since he saw an organization with “class distinctions” that would not work for “a shoe-shine boy like me.”
Like some other disenchanted Americans, Baldwin sought solace in France, leaving the States in 1948. His homosexuality is only briefly discussed, and that is a second compelling reason why he left. Also, like many other notable Americans, including MLK, Baldwin was on the FBI watch list. He came back to the States in the ‘60’s, listing all the Americana he did NOT miss, but stating that he did miss the people of Harlem. Baldwin would die at St. Paul de Vence, high on the hills overlooking Nice, in 1987.
This film projects Baldwin’s spirit onto the present day continued racial conflicts, exemplified by “Black Lives Matter.” It also utilizes the actual spoken words of Robert Kennedy when he said that there might be a black President in 40 years, and then shows the inauguration of Barack Obama. Despite several clips of the singer Harry Belafonte, I believe the film “pulled some punches,” in particular, Belafonte’s criticisms of Obama, and the paucity of actions undertaken to address the serious enduring racial issues, including the massive incarceration of young black men, vis-à-vis, as Obama once bragged about in his State of the Union address, “getting the DOW back to record highs”.
A powerful must-see film, 5-stars, plus
I am white, and a woman. Something about James Baldwin moves me; perhaps his face looks weary and kind yet strong and bitter and I'd love to listen to him, speak with him, for hours and hours. Samuel L Jackson's narration is powerful, his voice simultaneously judges and does not judge all of us watching. If you're looking for a validation of any of your own beliefs in this film, it's not made for you. It's so obviously made to challenge, harass, tear apart and tear down your own beliefs and take you into Baldwin's heart and soul. He was overestimated as a danger, a threat to America's very safety! Yet so wrongly dismissed as one of our top intellectual and emotional writers.
This film doesn't make me feel guilty to be white, but it certainly opened my eyes to what white pride really means. My ancestors were Irish immigrants from a time when they were seen as "less than" yet we still used our white privilege to lift ourselves up - strictly because our whiteness was a tool in the toolbox of America that we could freely reach into, and use with impunity. This film helped me to more deeply understand the lives of the Black people who were never, and have not ever, been given access to the same toolbox as myself. The mixing of images past and present helped guide me, helped to strengthen my courage to STAND UP AND FACE THIS PROBLEM and say BLACK LIVES MATTER to everyone who insists "all lives matter" and drones on with their "buts" and their "what-abouts." This film gives me, not just one more reference point for why systemic racism is wrong and MUST, and WILL die, but it gives me the courage once again to join the fight.
This film is a tool in our human toolbox. How you use it - and IF you use it, is up to you.

J'ai acheté une biographie de James Baldwin juste après parce que je voulais en savoir plus à son sujet.
Ce type était tout simplement BRILLANT !
Documentaire captivant du début à la fin.
Il invite grandement à la réflexion.
