James Baldwin: The Price of the Ticket
Directed by Karen Thorsen
The definitive biography of the great American writer & activist - James Baldwin. An emotional portrait, a social critique, and a passionate plea for human equality, this film is a vérité feast. Without using narration, the film allows Baldwin to tell his own story: exploring what it means to be born black, impoverished, gay and gifted – in a world that has yet to understand that “all men are brothers.”
