Fanon: Black Skin, White Mask is filmmaker Isaac Julien's unique "reading"
of the pre-eminent theorist of the anti-colonial movements of this
century. Fanon's two major works, Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched

racism on both colonized and colonizer. This innovative film biography
restores Fanon to his rightful place at the center of contemporary
discussions around post-colonial identity.
