Using rarely-seen archival footage from nine different countries, the film melds intimate interviews and eloquent public speeches with cinéma vérité glimpses of Baldwin and original scenes from his extraordinary funeral service in December 1987.
This film will be screened in-person on Sunday, October 6th. Join us at the National Archives for an opening tribute celebrating the enduring impact of James Baldwin as a prolific author and activist.
