This evening it was a documentary that I went to see, it was meant to be sold out, but some tickets were freed up while I was waiting. It is based on a manuscript that the author James Baldwin was writing about race relations in the US. In it he talks about his friendship with African American leaders Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.
At times it was immensely moving and relevant to look back at how much has changed and then realize that there is still much to be worked on. As James Baldwin died in the 80s i wonder what he would think of what he would see around him now. I did leave the cinema thinking though that I expected more and it underdelivered. 3/5.

I think things have, if not regressed in race relations, then gone off on an unpleasant tangent, at least in the U.S.
