Netflix adds curated list of "powerful narratives" to support Black Lives Matter

The streaming service revealed the selection on Twitter today as protests against racism continue around the world, sparked by the death of George Floyd and many others before him.

Netflix said: "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.

"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."

It includes Ava DuVernay's documentary on racial injustice 13th as well as her four-episode drama series When They See Us, based on the true story of the Central Park Five.
