Amazon Prime members can now watch Brown Sugar’s library of films — uncensored and commercial-free — as they were originally seen in theaters. The service is $3.99 per month and is available to Prime customers with a seven-day free trial.

The lineup of nearly 300 movies on Brown Sugar includes classics of the genre including Shaft, DolemiteCotton Comes to Harlem, Foxy Brown, The Original Gangstas, In the Heat of the Night, Blacula, Cleopatra Jones, Crash, Cooley High, Which Way Is Up?, Hammer, and Black Caesar, as well as Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip and Car Wash.

Brown Sugar also offers complete seasons of Bounce network series Saints & Sinners, Mann & Wife, Family Time, In The Cut and Ed Gordon, as well as Premier Boxing Champions events.

Brown Sugar was launched last fall by Bounce TV, a multicast African-American television network. The SVOD service is now available on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Kindle, Android and Apple smartphones and tablets, and web browsers via brownsugar.com. It also provides support for Google Chromecast with compatible connected-TV devices.
