James Baldwin was writing a book about his three murdered friends: Malcolm X, Medgar Ewers and Martin Luther King jr. It was destined to be a revolutionary and personal book, but when Baldwin died in 1987, he had only written 30 pages. Director Raoul Peck decided to tell the story using film. I Am Not Your Negro is a journey through black history, which provides the contextual ties between the civil rights movement and #BlackLivesMatter. The film questions the way American society treats Afro-Americans.
