"I Am Not Your Negro" is a documentary about the late, renowned essayist, novelist and social critic James Baldwin, whose searing words about race and relations are still resonant today. The documentary features both interviews with Baldwin and narration of his work by actor Samuel L. Jackson. And just this week, the film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The director of the film, Raoul Peck, joined Under the Radar in studio to talk more about the documentary and the importance of the movie in today's world.
