Headfirst Editor's Pick
"“The story of the negro in America is the story of America, and it is not a pretty story”. Using Baldwin’s unfinished manuscript as a lens to view the history of civil rights and race relations in America, Raoul Peck (with narration from Samuel L) has created an uncompromising doc for anyone with the slightest moral interest in the human race."
