In response to current events, Warner Bros. is offering free streaming rentals of its film "Just Mercy," from the director Destin Daniel Cretton and starring Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx.

"Just Mercy," released in theaters on January 10, tells the true story of Bryan Stevenson (Jordan), a civil-rights attorney who works to defend Walter McMillian (Foxx), who was wrongfully convicted of murder.

You can rent "Just Mercy" for free in June through a variety of digital movie services in the US, including Apple TV, FandangoNow, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, Redbox, the PlayStation Store, Vudu, Microsoft, and YouTube.

The studio said it hopes the film will be an educational resource for people who want to learn more about the dangers of systemic racism in our society.

Elaborating on its decision to offer the free rental, Warner Bros. released the following statement on the film's official website:

"We believe in the power of story.

"Our film 'Just Mercy,' based on the life work of civil rights attorney Bryan Stevenson, is one resource we can humbly offer to those who are interested in learning more about the systemic racism that plagues our society.

You will need your Prime Video PIN, which you can change if you don't know it...


On the Amazon website, to go Prime Video Settings (across the top select)> Parental Controls and then set (or change) your 5-digit PIN.

Just watched it...cried more than a few times, but a very hopeful, and for now very timely.

It will be less frustrating going there, knowing it can be handled, and how.

Absolutely well-timed, no doubt about that.
