Netflix has launched a collection of film and TV content for U.S. subscribers which highlights “powerful and complex narratives about the black experience.”

The ‘More Than A Moment’ catalog will include Spike Lee’s new movie Da 5 Bloods, Ava DuVernay’s 13th, and When They See Us, Mudbound, Orange Is The New Black and Ocar-winner Moonlight.

The platform tweeted, “When we say ‘Black Lives Matter,’ we also mean ‘Black storytelling matters.’ 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.”

They continued: “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.”
