#Netflix launches Black Lives Matter collection of films, shows

Netflix has launched a collection of film and TV content for U.S. subscribers which highlights “powerful and complex narratives about the black experience.”

The “More Than A Moment” catalog will include Spike Lee’s new movie “Da 5 Bloods,” Ava DuVernay’s “13th,” and “When They See Us,” “Mudbound,” “Orange Is The New Black” and Oscar-winner “Moonlight.”

The platform tweeted, “When we say ‘Black Lives Matter,’ we also mean ‘Black storytelling matters.’ With an understanding that our commitment to true, systemic change will take time – we’re starting by highlighting powerful and complex narratives about the Black experience.”

The studio continued: “When you log onto Netflix today, you will see a carefully curated list of titles that only begin to tell the complex and layered stories about racial injustice and Blackness in America.”
