Working from the text of James Baldwin’s unfinished final novel, director Raoul Peck creates a meditation on what it means to be Black in the United States.

'I Am Not Your Negro' delivers a powerful, emotionally devastating examination of racism in America through James Baldwin's eloquent prose, brought to life by Samuel L. Jackson's authoritative narration. The documentary profoundly challenges viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about systemic racism's continuity from past to present. While most found it intellectually riveting and urgently relevant, some felt the film lacked narrative focus and coherent structure, making it less compelling despite its important subject matter.
