I Am Not Your Negro & The Sweetwater Harvest (short)
An Oscar-nominated documentary as brilliant and blistering as writer James Baldwin, around whom it is built, this tells the story of race in America, from the nation’s beginning to now, through the stories of three civil rights leaders — Medger Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jnr — and includes remarkable archival footage and Samuel L Jackson as narrator. While this is a U.S. story, much of it is also directly relevant to Australia.
