With so many streaming services to sift through, missing out on the latest release is all too easy. We here at The Young Folks certainly believe you should get your money’s worth with the apps you choose, so we put together a streaming guide for some of the most notable releases worth adding to your various lists and queues. We’re taking back movie night, people.
Let’s begin with some titles that were timed for release on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Chicago-based documentaries that honor the Civil Rights Movement
These four docs, two of which are short films, offer some insightful and unique vistas into the historical figures and movements occurring around Chicago during the late 1960s. In addition to any programming you might include today in honor of MLK’s legacy, definitely consider adding at least one of these docs to your rotation, especially if you haven’t seen any of them yet.
