This powerful 93-minute feature documentary (“One of the 10 Best Films of the Year!” NY Times} is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson and is entirely inspired by James Baldwin’s unfinished manuscript, Remember This House, a collection of notes and letters written by Baldwin in the mid-1970’s.  The memoir recounts the lives of his close friends and civil rights leaders Malcolm X, Martin Luther King and Medgar Evers.  It includes excerpts of James Baldwin speaking and speaks directly to us today.
