Raoul Peck’s Oscar-nominated documentary draws on James Baldwin’s unpublished man- uscript Remember This House to create a nu- anced examination of the history and current state of racial inequity in the United States. Peck imagines Baldwin’s unfinished work using archival interviews of the legendary literary figure from the 1960s, narration (Samuel L. Jackson), and footage of the contemporary era’s Black Lives Matter movement. Peck’s documentary is an incisive and unflinching work of filmmaking.
DIRECTOR: Raoul Peck.
CAST: Samuel L. Jackson.
2016. 95 min. France/USA/ Belgium/Switzerland. Color. English. DCP.
