UPDATE JULY 2024: This film will have a national re-airing on PBS beginning July 13, 2024 (12 years after its debut!). So we have taken it down here, but it will return!

The US racial reckoning of 2020 resulted in, amongst other things, a renewed push for the reimagining of the teaching of history in schools, and the importance of Black History education — not as a “contribution” to American History, but as the critical element through which a comprehensive understanding of America is formed.

Long ago, in 2009 and 2010, we made a film that tried, through humor and introspection, to get at the vitality of this discussion. The result was the 2012 PBS film More Than A Month. The filmmakers of More Than A Month have made the film available to stream here free. We hope it serves as a discussion starter, educational resource, or simply a fun and revealing watch.
