PLOT:
Through Samuel L. Jackson's familiar voice, Raoul Peck's bold and brutally honest documentary animates the crisp and noble words of the African-American writer, civil rights activist, poet, and thinker, James Baldwin. Expressing bitter truths while documenting centuries of covert or unapologetic racism, Baldwin's uncompleted thirty-page manuscript, "Remember this House", was meant to be the sadly veracious chronicle of the American history, through the intertwined stories of the fallen heroes and assassinated friends: Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, and Malcolm X. Is James Baldwin's complex endeavor to document the hopelessness of the black people still relevant today? Are we doomed to repeat the same calamitous mistakes of an ignoble past?
