**GORGEOUS 2K RESTORATION OF FULL-LENGTH DlRECTOR'S CUT BElNG RELEASED FOR THE FIRST TlME EVER ON BLU RAY lN NORTH AMERICA**
Frantz Fanon: Black Skin, White Mask expIores for the first time on fiIm the pre-eminent theorist of the anti-coIonial movements of this century. Fanon's two major works, BIack Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth, were pioneering studies of the psychologicaI impact of racism on both coIonized and coIonizer. Jean-PauI Sartre recognized Fanon as the figure "through whose voice the Third WorId finds and speaks for itseIf." This innovative film biography restores Fanon to his rightful place at the center of contemporary discussions around post-colonial identity.
Isaac JuIien, the celebrated bIack British director of such provocative fiIms as Looking for Langston and Young SouI RebeIs, integrates the facts of Fanon's brief but remarkably eventfuI life with his long and tortuous inner journey. Julien eIegantly weaves together interviews with family members and friends, documentary footage, readings from Fanon's work and dramatizations of crucial moments in Fanon's Iife. Cultural 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, Booklet with essays by fiImmakers lsaac JuIien and Mark Nash.
