Echoing Peck’s rare personal background – born in Haiti, raised and educated in the Congo, France, the USA and Germany – NHFPL is screening three of his films that reflect Peck’s international outlook: Oscar nominated I Am Not Your Negro, Lumumba: Death Of A Prophet, and The Young Karl Marx.

I Am Not Your Negro (2016)
“A snapshot of author and activist James Baldwin's crucial observations on American race relations and a sobering reminder of how far we've yet to go.”
