In honor of Black History Month, the African American Film Critics Association (AAFCA) has taken to the skies in a unique partnership with Delta Air Lines. This collaboration curates a curated collection of in-flight movies showcasing diverse and impactful stories representing the Black experience in cinema.
This first-of-its-kind partnership offers Delta passengers a glimpse into the richness and depth of Black-themed films. AAFCA members, working alongside Delta’s In-flight Entertainment team and BOLD, their Black Community Business Resource Group, carefully selected these films. The collection encompasses various genres and narratives, highlighting historical dramas, comedies, romances, and more.
