An emotionally powerful film. Gives insight into the frustrating experiences of being black in America. Some parts were genuinely disheartening.
This film paints a bleak picture for the prospects of African Americans during the Civil Rights Era. I can't imagine what James Baldwin must have felt when he saw his three close friends (Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr.) die in quick succession. After finishing this filmI wondered what powerful work of art that "Remember This House" would have been if James Baldwin had the chance to finish it. Raoul Peck did a great work piecing together this work of art with the resources and materials he had.
4.5/5. Highly recommended.
