Fresh off its smash-success theatrical run, ôAm I Racist?ö will begin
streaming exclusively on DailyWire+ starting October 28.

The film directed by Justin Folk features famed provocateur Matt Walsh going undercover in the world of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI),
hilariously skewering the absurdity of race hustlers. To date, the film has grossed more than $12 million at the box office after launching in theaters nationwide on September 13. ôAm I Racist?ö also debuted in the top five films in the country on its opening weekend and recently nabbed a milestone as the nationÆs top-grossing documentary of the decade.

ôBig news: the top documentary of the decade is coming to Daily Wire on
October 28. Stream æAm I Racist,Æ one of the most talked about movies of the year, only on DW+ on October 28,ö Walsh wrote on X.

On top of its stellar financial performance, the media companyÆs first theatrical release for an in-house production has already made strides in poisoning the toxic plague of DEI with its unflinching exposure of so-called anti-racism ôexperts.ö The day before the film opened, Robin DiAngelo (ôWhite Fragilityö) ù recently accused of plagiarizing black authors ù released a statement condemning the film; she has since removed said statement from her website and gone dark on social media, as have other activists from the film including Saira Rao (Race2Dinner) and Kate Slater.

Although ôAm I Racist?ö has been objectively successful at the box office and in the zeitgeist, the film was not received without controversy: mainstream critics largely ignored the film, likely for fear of having to acknowledge
its success, despite it quickly attaining a ôVerified Hotö status on Rotten Tomatoes with a 97% audience score at more than 2500+ verified reviews, and
an A CinemaScore. The film also faced boycotts from independent theaters,
with one locale dropping showings of the movie after a ôstrong reactionö from the community prompted ôsafetyö concerns. Regardless of backlash, the film
was heralded by Joe Rogan as ôone of the best comedies IÆve seen in a long time,ö with a Wall Street Journal opinion writer also boasting that ôMr. WalshÆs movie is performing a public service.ö

Even some on the Left couldnÆt help but praise ôAm I Racist?ö. Vinson Cunningham at The New Yorker called the film ôsomething a red-pilled Sacha Baron Cohen might make.ö

ôThe biggest coup of æAm I Racist?Æ is the interview that Walsh scores with Robin DiAngelo,ö Cunningham added.

Pamela McClintock of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that WalshÆs new film ôseemingly came out of nowhere à the top opening for a political documentary since Michael MooreÆs Fahrenheit 9/11 two decades ago in 2004.ö

ôAm I Racist?ö is a Digital Astronaut production of a Justin Folk film, and
is Walsh and FolkÆs second collaboration for The Daily Wire after their explosive 2022 documentary ôWhat Is A Woman?ö. ôAm I Racist?ö is produced by Kirby Williamson, Charlotte Roland, Brian Hoffman, Matt Walsh, and Justin
Folk, who also directs. Sean Hampton and Benyam Capel serve as co-producers, with Dallas Sonnier, Jeremy Boreing, Caleb Robinson, and Ben Shapiro
executive producing.
