Celebrate Black History Month at the movies! Metropolis Kino offers a unique documentary about the renowned writer James Baldwin:
When the US writer James Baldwin died in December 1987, he left behind a 30-page manuscript entitled "Remember This House".

The book was intended to be a personal examination of the biographies of three close friends who were all murdered in assassination attempts: Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and Medgar Evers.

Baldwin combines his personal memories of the three great civil rights activists with a reflection on his own painful life experience as a black man in the USA.

I Am Not Your Negro continues Baldwin's furious fragment in the spirit of the author and condenses it into a biting analysis of the representation of African Americans in US cultural history.
