Guild Hall and the Hamptons International Film Festival present HIFF 25th Anniversary Screening: I Am Not Your Negro

In 1979, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his
next project, Remember This House. The book was to be a revolutionary,
personal account of the lives and successive assassinations of three of
his close friends—Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.

At the time of Baldwin’s death in 1987, he left behind only thirty completed pages of his manuscript.

Now, in his incendiary new documentary, master filmmaker Raoul Peck
envisions the book James Baldwin never finished. 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 these three leaders, Baldwin and Peck
have produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America
stands for.
