\nJAMES BALDWIN: THE PRICE OF THE TICKET<\/p>\n
Originally aired on PBS as part of the American Masters series, this excellent biographical documentary of the late James Baldwin, directed by Karen Thorsen, presents a remarkably in-depth look at the man, the writer, the teacher–all the various components that went into making James Baldwin one of the most influential black writers of the century. Combining interview footage of the outspoken and often photographed Baldwin, the program traces Baldwin’s career from his humble beginnings in Harlem, and the publication of his early novels Go Tell It on the Mountain and Giovanni’s Room to his later involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, and his final years. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Baldwin’s death. Followed by Q&A, kicked off by short reading of Baldwin’s work.<\/p>\n
