Black Lives Matter, i.e: BLM. The cause, committed to the fight against racism and in defense of equality long before the movement’s official founding, has influenced the film world. And in streaming on CHILI (www.chili.com) you will find a special collection that tells the very stories of the BLM. It starts with the Oscar®-nominated new release, Judas and the Black Messiah by Shaka King, about Fred Hampton, leader of the Black Panthers. Also among the new releases is RZA’s Dark Waters, set in post-Katrina New Orleans. The cast includes Wesley Snipes, Shameik Moore, Terrence Howard and Ethan Hawke.
