Named after his book Black Skin, White Mask, this portrait of the influential thinker and psychiatrist Frantz Fanon (1925–1961) is a study of the psychological effects of colonialism. Fact and fiction converge in a complex network of stylistic and narrative approaches, with historical re-enactments and interviews with Homi K. Bhabha and Stuart Hall.
