• As Black Lives Matter protests around the world continue, several movies about social injustices, racism, and civil rights are now available to stream for free.
• Titles include "Selma," "Just Mercy," and "I Am Not Your Negro."

In the last week, protests across the world have continued in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and to mourn George Floyd.

Floyd died after a white Minnesota police officer kneeled on his neck for over eight minutes on May 25, 2020. The outpouring of grief and anger over his death and the deaths of others has inspired companies that own some of the most important feature films and documentaries on topics about social injustice and racism to make them available to stream for free.

From Ava DuVernay's Oscar-nominated "Selma" to the documentary "I Am Not Your Negro," based on an unfinished James Baldwin manuscript, this collection of titles is available to stream right now.
