"This most creative and informative documentary makes history in terms of cinematic treatments of Frantz Fanon, the brilliant Black apostle of human liberation. No other such offering is this engaging as it treks from the biographical materials of yesterday to today’s exploding political insurgencies across the globe. After all these years, we see fresh new images emerge from the legendary life of Fanon; we are met with troves of new information concerning his praxis; and we witness the afterlife of Fanon himself animated in a range of rich, political as well as intellectual scenarios from the continent of his African Revolution to contemporary Europe and the Americas. Hassane Mezine’s Fanon: Yesterday, Today is not just a creatively stunning film, it is an animated treatise faithful to Fanon as a man of ideas and a man of action, a man of the people."

"Fanonian iconography in revolutionary Black Arts is the expressive vehicle in which Fanon made his appearance on the streets of cities across the global.
The 2019 film “Fanon: Yesterday, Today” by Hassane Mezine is a documentary compilation of Fanonian iconography, memes and radical engagements yesterday, today. It should be viewed with Raoul Peck’s 2021 innovative documentary “Exterminate all the brutes” because it is a project that comes between Peck’s film “The Young Karl Marx” and his Fanon film project.
Together, Mezine and Peck imagine in the propulsion of the motion of the present historic moment the revolutionary breadth and breath of the full scope
and meaning that Fanon gave to his most controversial articulation of the “naked truth” of colonization and decolonization, viz., “absolute violence”"
