Movie review - I Am Not Your Negro (2016)

This is a great doc. It does what it sets out to do, framing the history of Black civil rights in the US in James Baldwin's words and tying all of that into 20th and early 21st century media (pre BLM of course). Depressing that it's all still so relevant 10yrs after the film was made, but I guess empires take a while to fall. But hopeful that Baldwin continues to be a source of understanding and dark optimism despite everything.

Rating: 5.0 out of 5.
