The film, directed by Raoul Peck is called ‘I Am Not Your Negro’, it’s based on the book that Baldwin had envisioned about important black leaders who were assassinated, Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X.

30 pages of preliminary notes and letters to Baldwin’s literary agent were the only progress before his death but now they have been furthered with Samuel L. Jackson narrating.

So, it’ll debut in September and we can’t wait!
