A kind of "film essay", taken from an unfinished project by the black author James Baldwin, in which he recounts his life through the prism of his martyred friends Medger Evers, Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr.; as well as the movies. Excellently read by Samuel L. Jackson, the text is a brilliantly written and layered reflection that asks to be taken in more then once. Strong editing and direction. An accomplishment I struggle to think of anything to really compare it to. ****
