Claude McKay, errances d'un poète révolté
ArrayMatthieu VERDEIL
France
2025 / 55’ / French

This documentary retraces the flamboyant and committed life of Claude McKay, a Jamaican poet of the Harlem Renaissance and a precursor of Negritude, who traveled the world between the two world wars as a visionary vagabond. His work, long overlooked, now appears as an essential key to understanding the history and struggles of Black modernity.
