I Am Not Your Negro reflects the style of Baldwin’s speeches, excerpts of which are included intermittently throughout the documentary. It is simultaneously beautiful and witty, and also delivers a punch to the gut. As Nayuka Gorrie declared in her own response to the film, ‘I want to remind you that you are not imagining it. [White Supremacy] is real.’ My gut hurts because the film is as true in Australia as it is in the States.
