ONLINE EVENT - FREE

Saratoga Jewish Community Arts, along with Temple Sinai and a generous grant from the Jewish Federation of Northeastern New York, presents another in a series on racial justice, a Zoom panel discussion of I Am Not Your Negro, directed by Raoul Peck and based on the writings of James Baldwin.

I Am Not your Negro, a powerful but imperfect documentary by director Raoul Peck, is derived from James Baldwin's unfinished manuscript Remember this House. This documentary received critical acclaim and a Best Documentary Oscar nomination before it opened nationwide. Remember this House was intended to be a personal recollection of Baldwin's friends - Civil Rights leaders Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. - all of whom were assassinated within five years of each other. Peck's film relies almost exclusively on Baldwin's writings that are narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.

NOTE: Please view the film prior to the panel discussion. Stream I Am Not Your Negro on Netflix, Amazon Prime or other services.
