Netflix won’t run Louis Farrakhan documentary, citing ‘internal miscommunication’
A documentary featuring the notorious Louis Farrakhan will not be available to Netflix customers next month after all, with the media streaming giant citing an “internal miscommunication.”
“This film will not be released on Netflix. Due to an internal miscommunication, it appeared to be scheduled for release on Netflix, but it is not,” a Netflix spokesperson told JNS. “We apologize for any confusion this has caused.”
The 2014 film, “The Honourable Minister Louis Farrakhan: My Life’s Journey Through Music,” was produced by Farrakhan’s son and profiles the Nation of Islam leader’s life as an extreme and polarizing figure.
In a video post on Twitter on Tuesday, Farrakhan announced that the documentary would soon appear on Netflix.
“My dear viewers and listeners, on August 1 you will be able to view the premiere on Netflix of the minister’s life journey through music. And, if you would like to leave a comment of what you think about that documentary, and its music, you can go to LCTWMusic.com and leave your comment. May God bless you—As-Salaam Alaikum,” said Farrakhan.
According to a list of newly available films on Netflix, published on Monday, the documentary was scheduled to be released on Wednesday.
