Raoul Peck's filmography is a blend of documentaries and feature films that tackle historical, political, and social issues.  He uses historical figures and personal narratives to illuminate broader societal problems.  Some of his notable works include:

I Am Not Your Negro (2016): This acclaimed documentary explores race in America through the writings of James Baldwin, earning an Oscar nomination.

Lumumba (2000): A biopic on Patrice Lumumba, the Congo's first democratically elected leader, sheds light on colonialism's legacy.
