'I Am Not Your Negro,' Toni Morrison and Ferguson Uprising docs made available for free (EXCLUSIVE)

The effort comes in the wake of protests that are sweeping across the U.S., as tens of thousands of people have assembled in the streets to call attention to police brutality and systemic racism. They have been motivated to speak out because of the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. The three films, which focus on influential Civil Rights leaders and Black thinkers such as James Baldwin and Toni Morrison, as well as issues of social injustice, could not be more topical.

Each title will be made available to view each Sunday for free during a 24-hour window. Magnolia, Knight Foundation, and O Cinema will send out information to their mailing lists. There will also be a landing page where people can access the films. Audiences will be asked to register in advance and receive a secure link and password to view the film.

Magnolia is the indie studio behind each of the films. Knight Foundation is a national philanthropic group supporting journalism, the arts, and cities where brothers John S. and James L. Knight once published newspapers. O Cinema is a non-profit, community-based, mission-driven independent art house theater in Miami.
