JAMES BALDWIN: THE PRICE OF THE TICKET, PG-14
James Baldwin (1924-1987) was at once a major twentieth century American author, a Civil Rights activist and, for two crucial decades, a prophetic voice calling Americans, Black and white, to confront their shared racial tragedy. JAMES BALDWIN: THE PRICE OF THE TICKET captures on film the passionate intellect and courageous writing of a man who was born black, impoverished, gay and gifted.
"A haunting, beautifully made biography! Deeply passionate. Makes you wonder about the other American masters in the ghettos and barrios who won’t be able to beat the odds and break out." - The Los Angeles Times
