In June 1979, the writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin embarked on a project to tell the story of America through the lives of three of his murdered friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. He died before it could be completed. In his documentary film "I Am Not Your Negro", Raoul Peck imagins the book Baldwin never wrote, using his original words to create a radical, powerful and poetic work on race in the United States - then, and today.
