iciHaiti - Cinema : «I Am Not Your Negro» wins the 2018 César Award for Best Documentary
Friday at the 43rd edition of the Césars in France, having been awarded mid-February at the British Academy Film Awards, the Haitian filmmaker Raoul Peck's 90-minute documentary "I Am Not Your Negro" won the 2018 César Award for Best Documentary Film, the highest distinction of French cinema in this category, under the ovation of the public. The trophy was awarded to a member of his team, Peck being absent from the ceremony.

This documentary by the former Minister of Culture of Haiti (March 1996 September 1997) is a meditation on the representation of African-American identity, an invitation to question the very foundations of what America represents (United States).

Released on February 3, 2017, awarded several times, notably in the festivals of Berlin (Germany), Toronto (Canada), Philadelphia and Chicago (United States of America), the documentary features three black icons linked, suddenly disappeared: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. all assassinated, taken from the unfinished work of African-American writer James Baldwin, writer (1924-1987), which documented both the life that the murder of Martin Luther King Jr, of Medgar Evers, who was their friend as well as the tragic fate of Malcolm X. Peck reconstitutes the book dealing with the issue of race in the United States and brings to the screen the words used by Baldwin interested in the recurring racial problem in the United States, scene of riots in recent years because of blacks killed without real justification by the forces of order. The voice of Samuel Jackson is used in the original version of the film and that of Joey Starr for the French version (dubbed).
