In his new film, I am Not Your Negro, director Raoul Peck (Sometimes in April; Lumumba) draws upon James Baldwin's notes on the lives and assassinations of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr. to bring a fresh and radical perspective to the current racial narratives in America. In this keynote conversation, he discusses what drew him to make this critical film, his inventive approaches to history throughout his career, as well as sourcing and selecting his archive.
