Through tomorrow, June 18, The Picture House in Pelham, in partnership with Magnolia Pictures, is offering three important and relevant documentaries that continue to push the dialogue about systemic racism and injustice in society – “I Am Not Your Negro,” tracing James Baldwin’s unfinished book on Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.; “Whose Streets?,” recounting the shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson, Missouri, police and its aftermath; and “Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am,” considering the life and times of the Nobel Prize-winning novelist. ($6.99 each to own or $15 for all three through June 30 at https://magnoliapictures.vhx.tv/products/documentary-bundle-the-picture-house).
