Orange Is the New Black: Season 5 *Netflix Original
The Litchfield ladies are back, and the entire fifth season of this riveting Netflix Original will stretch over three days as the inmates riot in the wake of Poussey’s death and take the prison from the abusive guards who have tormented them for too long. This new approach to storytelling is bound to leave you reeling, and the characters you know and love will surprise you (and remind you why you fell in love with them in the first place) as they navigate this new chaotic chapter.

I Am Not Your Negro
This stunning picture of black author and intellectual James Baldwin through his own writings and interviews is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson and was nominated for a Best Documentary Oscar. Baldwin’s words on the Civil Rights Movement and state of America during its heightened era of racism pack a painfully relevant punch today, and the film presents his compelling words in an irresistible, unforgettable way.

The Accountant
Ben Affleck stars as a math savant more comfortable around numbers than people in this wild action flick that sees him cook the books for a series of criminal organizations and soon attracts the attention of government officials. As he seeks the truth and starts to do the right thing, the stakes get higher and the body count starts to rise.
