Black Documentaries on Hulu

Documentaries allow us to get up-close and personal with topics we've never experienced or have no knowledge of. Viewers see the detailed lives of people who have gone through great distress and the extremely privileged lives of others. 

These emotional Hulu documentaries follow stories of African American struggle and success in systems that disproportionately affect them.
