How to watch Am I Racist documentary – is the movie streaming?
The Daily WireMatt Walsh’s Am I Racist is one of the most notorious, polarizing documentaries of the year – and this is exactly where you can watch it on streaming.
Thanks to streaming titans like Netflix, we’re never short of new true crime and documentaries to watch whenever we feel like it.
However, some of the most talked about new movies are coming from independent sources – and The Daily Wire is one of them.
With columnist Matt Walsh at the helm, here’s everything you need to know about Am I Racist? (the documentary, not the question), and whether it’s streaming.
How to watch Am I Racist
Am I Racist is finally available to stream exclusively on DailyWire+ as of October 28, 2024.
This comes after a successful theatrical run in November, with the film grossing over $12.2 million in North America and earning a Verified Hot audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. It wasn’t reviewed by many mainstream critics, with The New Yorker being a rare exception.
If you want to subscribe to DailyWire+, you have three options:
- Insider Annual – $8 per month (usually $13) billed annually
- Insider Monthly – $15 per month
- All Access – $14 per month (usually $21) billed annually
Following its theatrical run, we also expect the new movie to be available to watch via on-demand platforms like Amazon or Apple TV, to either rent or purchase. It’s unclear whether Am I Racist? will land on major streaming services such as Netflix or Max in the future.
What is the Am I Racist documentary about?
Am I Racist? is a mockumentary in the style of Borat, centering on right-wing political activist and Daily Wire columnist Matt Walsh disguising himself as a DEI trainee to get an inside look at anti-racism workshops and events, while also hosting interviews.
Daily Wire“Growing up in the ‘90s, you never thought much about race. Sure, you noticed but it never really seemed to matter that much – at least not to me,” Walsh says in the documentary’s trailer.
He goes on to question different people about the definition of racism before adopting a disguise to ‘infiltrate’ their circles. “If I’m going to sort this out, I need to go deeper undercover. If I want to be an ally, I need to look like one,” Walsh states.
“I can’t think of a more appropriate film for the Daily Wire’s first original theatrical release than Am I Racist?,” said Boreing, Daily Wire co-CEO. “What Is a Woman? changed the national conversation on radical gender theory, effectively killing the issue and DEI is the next pillar of the woke mind virus that’s about to topple.
“DEI culture is one of the most toxic plagues in American life and Matt Walsh and Justin Folk have masterfully and hilariously exposed it in this movie.”
Is it worth watching?
If any of the above appeals, Am I Racist? could be for you. The new documentary has a high Rotten Tomatoes score across the board, earning 71% from the critics and 96% from audiences.
However, some have noticed something strange about the scores. The documentary has been boycotted by mainstream media outlets, with reviews coming from lesser-known sources.
Daily WireAs highlighted by The Hollywood Reporter, Daily Wire held screenings at universities across the US, but some of those efforts were hindered when Eventbrite took down listings for screenings due to violations of its community guidelines.
“We do not permit events, content, or creators that promote or encourage hate, violence, or harassment towards others and/or oneself,” the company said.
According to Walsh, the reason for the boycott is because critics “are afraid of it.”
As for what those who have reviewed it on Rotten Tomatoes are saying, Book and Film Globe wrote, “Am I Racist? is intermittently hilarious, often thought-provoking, and a thematic and narrative mess.
“It’s a movie that will be remembered more for the tizzy it caused among people who oppose its existence than for the points it’s actually making.”
Elsewhere, Film Threat said, “As a film, Am I Racist? is valuable because, over the last few decades, the United States has been closer to racial unity and acceptance than it has been since its founding.
“Ironically, Walsh shows that this unity is found the further you remove yourself from academia. The jury is out whether Am I Racist? is merely preaching to the choir or if some will take the red pill.”
Joe Rogan also sai: “Your movie is really funny… I watched it in the sauna. I watched it in the gym. It’s one of the best comedies I’ve seen in a long time because there’s so many moments that are so uncomfortable.”
