Remembering James Baldwin in his would-be 100th year, Fringe! celebrates the life and legacy of an activist and an icon.

An emotional portrait, a social critique, and a passionate plea for human equality, JAMES BALDWIN: THE PRICE OF THE TICKET is now considered a classic. Without using narration, the film allows Baldwin to tell his own story: exploring what it means to be born black, impoverished, gay and gifted – in a world that has yet to understand that “all men are brothers.

Followed by Q&A with Karen Thorsen and Douglas K. Dempsey, filmmakers and directors of the Baldwin Project.
