Synopsis

Photographer to the greats, collaborator in African liberation, and archivist of Harlem, Brathwaite’s impact on Black culture is undeniable, but he was largely forgotten by history. This documentary covers the incredible surge in awareness of Kwame’s work, including being embraced by Rihanna and Beyoncé. Alicia Keys, Jesse Williams, Gabrielle Union, and Tyler Mitchell speak emotionally about championing Kwame’s work in this documentary, which finally gives “the keeper of the images” of the Black is Beautiful movement his moment to shine.
