James Baldwin for Our Times
James Baldwin died in 1987, but his quiet rage speaks eloquently to our times.

A key part of the film is the author's unfinished manuscript about three martyrs of the civil rights movement — Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr. — Thom Powers and Raphaela Neihausen For more information, click here to visit the official film web site.
