Documentary: “Nigger” by Director Thea St.Omer

“Lest anyone think race need not be discussed and unpacked, see St.Omer’s documentary, Nigger. St.Omer’s artistry shines light on every corner of a forbidden word. This film...entertains and provokes thoughtfulness. It casts a lens of
remarkable people on art, history, culture and popular culture, politics,
identity, ontology, and life. Nigger is beautiful.” –Douglas Biklen, dean of
