James Baldwin: The Price of the Ticket June 4, 2006

87 minutes, 1990
Producer/Director: Karen Thorsen, Producers: William Miles and Douglas K. Dempsey

James Baldwin (1924-1987) was at once a major twentieth century American author, a Civil Rights activist and, for two crucial decades, a prophetic voice calling Americans, black and white, to confront their shared racial tragedy. James Baldwin: The Price of the Ticket captures on film the passionate intellect and courageous writing of a man who was born black, impoverished, gay and gifted.

"A haunting, beautifully made biography⦣x20AC;?Deeply passionate⦣x20AC;?Makes you wonder about the other American masters in the ghettos and barrios who won't be able to beat the odds and break out." Los Angeles Times
