Being and Nothingness

As you watch this video, consider the role existential themes play in culpability and responsibility. What do Sartre's existential themes of freedom, commitment, despair, and choice mean in the context of self-identity? What does he mean when he says "being is slavery, nothingness is freedom"? Is Sartre's philosophy nihilistic or pessimistic?
