James Arthur Baldwin died from stomach cancer in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, on this day, December 1, 1987. He would have been 91 years young this year, were he still alive today.
A scripted feature film on the life of James Baldwin doesn’t exist, unbelievably. There’ve been documentaries like "The Price of a Ticket," but no biopics I’m aware of, or if one has even been attempted.
The only project I know with certainty that’s currently in development is actually a documentary from Haitian filmmaker Raoul Peck. Although details on it aren’t yet available in full, what we do know should definitely pique your curiosity.
It’s a project he’s been working…
