The powerful feature is based on JAMES BALDWIN’s notes for an unfinished novel ‘Remember This House’ widely considered as one of the greatest uncompleted works in American literature.

Narrated by SAMUEL L. JACKSON and with unprecedented access to JAMES BALDWIN’S original work, RAOUL PECK has completed the cinematic version of the book BALDWIN never wrote – a radical narration about race in America that tracks the lives and assassinations of BALDWIN’s friends, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Medgar Evers. Whilst it is partly anchored in the struggle for equality in the 50s and 60s, I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO is about what it means to be black in America today.

By confronting the deeper connections between the lives and assassinations of these three men, we uncover a larger narrative of America’s historical and current denial and irrational relationship with race. This ‘history of violence’ is also told through the long simplified narrative that Hollywood recounts as a story between ‘good’ and ‘evil’ or ‘right and wrong’, reflects our current racial precariousness. I AM NOT YOUR NEGROis also the autopsy of the American racial imagery and iconography.

I Am Not Your Negro is set for a UK&Irish Cinemas from Friday 7th April. It is a Limited Release please check the list below for Confirmed cinemas screening the movie:
