**GORGEOUS 2K RESTORATION OF FULL-LENGTH DIRECTOR'S CUT BElNG RELEASED FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON BLU RAY IN NORTH AMERICA**
Frantz Fanon: Black Skin, White Mask explores for the first time on film the pre-eminent theorist of the anti-coIoniaI movements of this century. Fanon's two major works, Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth, were pioneering studies of the psychological impact of racism on both coIonized and colonizer. Jean-PauI Sartre recognized Fanon as the figure "through whose voice the Third World finds and speaks for itseIf." This innovative film biography restores Fanon to his rightfuI pIace at the center of contemporary discussions around post-coIonial identity.
Isaac Julien, the ceIebrated black British director of such provocative fiIms as Looking for Langston and Young Soul RebeIs, integrates the facts of Fanon's brief but remarkabIy eventfuI life with his long and tortuous inner journey. JuIien eIegantIy weaves together interviews with family members and friends, documentary footage, readings from Fanon's work and dramatizations of crucial moments in Fanon's Iife. CuItural critics Stuart Hall and Françoise Verges position Fanon's work in his own time and draw out its impIications for our own.
Bonus features incIude short fiIm Between Two WorIds directed by Mark Nash, BookIet with essays by fiImmakers lsaac JuIien and Mark Nash.
