“One of the best movies you are likely to see this year.” —Manohla Dargis, New York Times
Nominated for the Best Documentary Oscar, this incendiary new film envisions the book on the Civil Rights movement, Remember This House, that James Baldwin had planned to write and expands on his work, bringing the story to the present of #BlackLivesMatter. The book was to be a revolutionary, personal account of the lives and successive assassinations of three of his close friends—Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Director Raoul Peck draws on this material to create a radical, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America that draws on Baldwin’s 30-page manuscript along with intensive archival material showing how the issues of Baldwin’s times are still valid and pressing today.
A selection of the Toronto International Film Festival and the New York Film Festival. 2016, U.S., DCP, 93 minutes. Rated PG-13.
Select screenings will include an introduction and post-screening discussion led by key members of the Louisville community.
Co-presented with the Urban League-Louisville.
Friday Film Happy Hour: Thanks to Wiltshire at the Speed, the first drink is included in your ticket purchase and offered from 6–7 pm before Friday evening screenings.
