I Am Not Your Negro
(I Am Not Your Negro)

In this encounter with James Baldwin’s work, Raoul Peck gives voice in his film to a man who called on the country to ask itself questions : « What white people have to do, is try and find out in their own hearts why it was necessary to have a nigger in the first place, because I’m not a nigger, I’m a man, but if you think I’m a nigger, it means you need it. » In this film, Raoul Peck draws on material that drives reflection on the history of racism in the States and opens a dialogue between the work, the man and the reality of American society.
