Directed by Raoul Peck and narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, the 2016 documentary is based on Baldwin's unfinished manuscript, Remember This House, which reflects on his proximity to civil rights leaders like Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Medgar Evers. I Am Not Your Negro, which uses both archival footage and photography, was nominated for best documentary feature at the 2017 Academy Awards. It's currently available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
