In honor of black history month, streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu are celebrating by promoting media that portray black experiences and black culture. The line-up of films included in the Black History Month section are brilliant, with many award winning titles like Ava DuVernay’s documentary 13th or Oscar-winning film Moonlight directed by Barry Jenkins. There are many ways to celebrate Black History Month, but supporting black artists and creators through film helps build an entertainment industry that includes everyone’s voice. The film industry is more than just entertainment. Movies and television shows can be a deeply personal, beautiful way to tell stories about the human experience, and they can also be a major form of representation and connection. That’s why it is so important that all stories are told.
