Meeting the Man: James Baldwin in Paris

In 1970, a British film crew set out to make a straightforward literary portrait of James Baldwin set in Paris, insisting on setting aside his political activism. Baldwin bristled at their questions, and the result is a fascinating, confrontational, often uncomfortable butting of heads between the filmmakers and their subject, in which the author visits the Bastille and other Parisian landmarks and reflects on revolution, colonialism, and what it means to be a Black expatriate in Europe.

Directed by Terence Dixon, Meeting the Man: James Baldwin in Paris brings together a talented cast and crew to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience. With a runtime of 27 minutes, this documentary promises to captivate audiences with its compelling narrative and stunning visuals.
