AM I RACIST? Documentary Sets Streaming Date

Movieguide® Contributor

AM I RACIST? the highest-grossing doc in the box office for the past six years, will now be available to stream on The Daily Wire.

“Directed by Justin Folk, the film sees conservative commentator and Daily Wire contributor Matt Walsh ‘investigating diversity, equity and inclusion practices, exposing absurdities through undercover social experiments,’” Deadline reported. “To date, the film has grossed more than $12M at the theatrical box office after launching in theaters nationwide on September 13, debuting in the top five films in the country on its opening weekend.”

The movie will stream on The Daily Wire from Oct. 28.

A portion of Movieguide®’s review reads:

AM I RACIST? is a mockumentary starring columnist and radio host Matt Walsh, a Christian conservative. Matt gets a certificate to be a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) consultant. Then, wearing a disguise, he pretends to ask some top self-appointed DEI experts and Marxist race hustlers to teach him how to be a non-racist white man. One of the Marxists he discusses racism with is Robin DiAngelo, author of the book WHITE FRAGILITY. Her book is used in colleges campuses and employee training programs at Disney and large companies.

AM I RACIST? is often funny and sometimes hilarious. Some of the comments against racism and white people by the Marxist race hustlers are unintentionally hilarious but also outrageous. Matt plays along with them and says a few crazy things himself. AM I RACIST? uses satire to expose Marxist “antiracist” ideology and identity politics as the fraud they truly are. Some of the people in AM I RACIST who are interviewed or depicted utter some obscenities, but the “f” words are bleeped out to get a PG-13 rating. MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution.

The movie had the largest opening for a political doc in 20 years. Crowds haven’t been bigger since 2004’s FAHRENHEIT 9/11 documentary. It also passed the domestic box office total for the popular documentary, SUPER SIZE ME.

The doc scored only 71% from 14 Rotten Tomatoes critics. According to the Daily Wire, mainstream critics have ignored the movie “for fear of having to acknowledge its success.” Some independent theaters have also boycotted the documentary over “safety concerns.”

The doc is produced by Kirby Williamson, Charlotte Roland, Brian Hoffman, Matt Walsh, and Justin Folk. Ben Shapiro executive-produced.
