Im Juni 1979 beginnt der bedeutende US-Autor James Baldwin seinen letzten, unvollendet gebliebenen Text. Mit persönlichen Erinnerungen an seine drei ermordeten Bürgerrechtler-Freunde Malcolm X, Medgar Evers und Martin Luther King und Reflexionen der eigenen, schmerzhaften Lebenserfahrung als Schwarzer schreibt er die Geschichte Amerikas neu. Raoul Peck inszeniert die 30 bislang unveröffentlichten Manuskriptseiten mit einer fulminanten Collage von Archivfotos, Filmausschnitten und Nachrichten-Clips.
