Yours to Own! Purchase Links Available June 5th – 30th

The following films – perennial tools for engaging and educating – are available to purchase for $6.99 each. Once purchased, the files never expire. We’re also offering a bundle of all three titles for $15, exclusive to our Virtual Cinema.

We are donating 100% of our proceeds from these titles to Humanities Behind Bars, a grassroots network of radical group-based study and mutual aid with an approach to the abolition movement that is grounded in education, agitation, and organizing. Their collective vision of building networks of care and mutual aid guides their strategies in organizing as they work to envision a world without cops, cages, and state-sanctioned violence. They are currently putting all donations gathered toward the 757 Solidarity Bail Fund, which will help protesters get out of jail and continue our shared struggle. This is a rotating fund, meaning that they will continue to support community members who remain behind bars in pretrial detention simply because they cannot post bail.

We’re encouraging local businesses to pledge solidarity and match our donation by 9% to honor the last 9 minutes of George Floyd’s life. Email solidarity@narocinema.com for more info.

I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO Master filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished, Remember This House. The result is a radical, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America, using Baldwin’s original words and flood of rich archival material. I Am Not Your Negro is a journey into black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights movement to the present of #BlackLivesMatter. It is a film that questions black representation in Hollywood and beyond. And, ultimately, by confronting the deeper connections between the lives and assassination of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., Baldwin and Peck have produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for.

TONI MORRISON: THE PIECES I AM Inspired to write because no one took a “little black girl” seriously, Toni Morrison reflects on her lifelong deconstruction of the master narrative. The Nobel prize-winning author and Princeton University professor leads an assembly of her peers, critics and colleagues on an exploration of race, America, history and the human condition as seen through the prism of her own work – including critically acclaimed novels as The Bluest Eye, Sula, Song of Solomon, and her role as an editor of iconic African-American literature.
