Eyes on the Prize
In February 2004, Downhill Battle organized the Grey Tuesday protest that distributed over 100,000 copies of the Grey Album in a day.
This year they bring you, Eyes on the Prize, Part I: Awakenings 1954-1956. Eyes on the Prize is the most important documentary ever made about the Civil Rights Movement--but copyright restrictions have kept it from the public for the past 10 years. Due to copyright restrictions (rights holders believe they should receive licensing fees because the film includes footage of a group singing Happy Birthday.") this film has been unavailable for so long.
Watch a trailer for the out of print Eyes on the Prize videos.
There's a screening tonight!
More screenings during February here.
