After its BET broadcast premiere, it was made available on Netflix as a streaming title, but was almost immediately yanked from the service, to the consternation of many of you who didn’t see it when it was in theaters (a limited release), and who, for one reason or another, missed it when it premiered on BET. I recall that news of its availability, streaming on Netflix, was met with much gratification, and an equal amount of distress, when it suddenly disappeared.
Over the months, I received several emails from readers asking me if I could share any info on the film’s home video release, and if you’re one of those who still has yet to see the film, and has wanted to, this news should make you happy!
