I Am Not Your Negro

An astonishing film.

Oscar nominee...and, if there is any justice in this world, Oscar winner! Well, there's absolutely no justice in the [movie awards] world...this remarkable film lost out to a mini-series - O.J.: Made in America - NOT A FEATURE DOCUMENTARY!

The words will - simply - take your breath away. Raoul Peck's senses of composure, composition and juxtaposition are - at times - mesmerising. The words, spoken by Samuel L Jackson are soothing in tone, horrifying in content. The words, written by James Baldwin 30 plus years ago, are prescient and precise, poetic and palpable.

I Am Not Your Negro is a cinematic experience - not to be missed. Watched in conjunction with the other Oscar nominee, Ava DuVernay's 13th...combined, they shed light on 'black lives' like 'white lives' have never seen before...of course #blacklivesmatter...of course #alllivesmatter...so, why do we continue to screw it all up? Are we not meant to learn from history, from our mistakes?

This is a film that should be shown to every teenage kid in every school throughout the world, to every adult...all measures taken to change this politician-made affront to civilisation.

It is our Oscar winner.
