‘RED, WHITE AND BLUE’ SHORT FILM FOR FREE ON YOUTUBE THROUGH ELECTION WEEK

Majic Ink Productions and Level Forward announced today that Nazrin Choudhury’s compelling Academy Award® nominated short film, Red, White and Blue, will premiere for free on YouTube through election week starting today.

Starring Brittany Snow and Juliet Donenfeld, and executive produced by Samantha Bee, the powerful and timely story follows a young, single mother from Arkansas who is forced to cross state lines in search of a critically urgent and necessary abortion. Alongside today’s YouTube launch, each view will generate a donation to the film’s Purple Parlor Fund benefiting non-partisan/501c3 organizations in reproductive rights, justice, and the film’s impact campaign. The film is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-nn_dNEEQw.

Since the Oscars®, the film has been screened strategically throughout the country to reach voters of all backgrounds and political leanings, and in a special event on Wednesday, October 30, students and faculty from the University of Pennsylvania will participate in a national, student-led, free livestream screening event and moderated discussion featuring the film’s writer and director Nazrin Choudhury, LaTosha Brown of Black Voters Matter, Professors Melissa Murray and Kate Shaw of “Strict Scrutiny,” UPenn law student Madeleine Morales, Co-chair of UPenn’s If/When/How, and more. Jointly sponsored by the If/When/How law student pro bono project, Penn Reproductive Justice Undergraduate Group, Toll Public Interest Center, and Penn Women’s Center, the event is produced by public benefit entertainment studio Level Forward. The livestream will virtually connect schools from various states including Georgia, Ohio, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee, California, and New York among others. Students are encouraged to gather with one another to participate in this experience, and may pre-register for free at https://www.rwbscreenings.com/schools.

The film’s National Host Committee leader and Oscar-nominated actress, Lorraine Bracco, describes the film as “23 minutes you will never forget,” highlighting Red, White and Blue’s “gut-punch lying in wait” which has garnered extensive word-of-mouth and demand for its release. Additional National Host Committee members include Katie Couric, Laverne Cox, Jane Fonda, Mark Ruffalo, Octavia Spencer, Gloria Steinem, Chrissy Teigen, and Jessica Yellin.
