I Am Not Your Negro (2016)
history is not the past, it is the present

There is so much to say about this film, too much that i cannot seem to wrap my head around it.
the images, the lines, the archival material, everything makes sense, how painful that may be. it has been an honour to see Baldwin talk, to notice his beautiful phrases and his loving and strong personality.
His words make this documentary another experience, it allows for admitting of mistakes and failures. it stops denial, he hands us the realisation that this issue does not go beyond us, it defines us.
'we carry our past everywhere we go' 'not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced'
