It is interesting to have a documentary film on the lives of inspirational Black Americans who made a mark in world history. It is good that such lives are showcased available for moviegoers to see what they had to do to fight for equality and justice. This is how the documentary film "I am not your Negro" revolves and progresses.
According to Movie Insider, the documentary film "I am not your Negro" is based on James Baldwin's 1979 letter to his literary agent describing an unavoidable feat he was about to partake. This is in relation to writing his last book entitled "Remember This House."
The book is about the lives and successive assassinations of three of his close friends namely Malcolm X, Medgar Evans and Martin Luther King Jr. The murders of these legends have traumatized the entire nation.

At the time of James Baldwin's death in 1987, he only left the book with only 30 completed pages of the manuscript. It is then the vision of the documentary film I am not your Negro's director Raoul Peck to finish the book which will be available for moviegoers.
The documentary film "I am not your Negro" will have its limited release on Feb. 3, 2017. The nationwide release has yet to be announced. This documentary film is ideal for students to have a good glimpse into the struggles these national legends have to go through.
As added by IMDb, the documentary film "I am not your Negro" is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. The film will also show James Baldwin himself from actual archive footage.
"I am not your Negro" has impressive reviews, with one saying that it is a profound and indelible statement that couldn't be more timely. This is most likely in relation to the ongoing racism issues being faced by many after the election of President-elect Donald J. Trump.
