Eyes on the Screen

February is Black History month! This February 8th help to ensure that the most important Civil Rights Documentary ever produced can be seen in every major American city.

Eyes on the Screen (eyesonthescreen.org) is a campaign to celebrate the Civil Rights Movement and the great documentary that tells its story: Eyes on the Prize. We’re working to once again put this film back on our screens and in front of millions of people.

The most important civil rights documentary of all time has been unavailable on video and television for 10 years because of copyright restrictions. Civil rights leader Lawrence Guyot said recently, This is analogous to stopping the circulation of all the books about Martin Luther King, stopping the circulation of all the books about Malcolm X, stopping the circulation of books about the founding of America.

With your help, on February 8th, 2005 we’ll gather our friends and community together to send a message that this film and its story are simply too important to be kept from the public. Downhill Battle has made digital versions of ‘Eyes on the Prize’ available for download and this February there will be nationwide screenings of ‘Eyes on the Prize’ across the country.
