Meeting the Man (1970)
When done Baldwin's way, it's brilliant

When James Baldwin takes over the direction of the film, it's great. Everything he says is still true, but the director initially comes with a very narrow idea of what the film should be, missing the reality Baldwin is trying to share. Had the director listened to Baldwin from the beginning, or let Baldwin drive the film instead of going from a plan, it could have been more extraordinary. But kudos to the director for eventually listening (slightly) to Baldwin.
