"We are proud to bring universal and relatable stories to the platform that highlight and represent the Black community across genres that we know will resonate with viewers."

Featured discovery+ Originals available on the hub will include --

· "Profiled: The Black Man" (Launching Saturday, February 12 on discovery+): This four-part docuseries examines the origins of the widespread stereotypes that have permeated society and impacted the lives of Black men in America for centuries. Through a powerful mixture of historical footage, real-life testimony, and commentary from an array of renowned thought leaders, "Profiled: The Black Man" aims to show the difficulties Black men have faced, both in the past and present-day, while also highlighting and celebrating the triumphs and resilience of countless extraordinary men. Episodes will feature commentary from notable community members such as executive producer Tina Knowles-Lawson, civil rights activist DeRay Mckesson, activist Tamika Mallory, hip-hop culture icon Sway Calloway, the Grammy, Emmy and Tony award-winning Billy Porter.

· "Uprooted" (Launching Monday, February 18 on discovery+): Uprooted tells the story of Keith Warren, who was 19 years old when his body was found hanging from a tree in 1986. The police ruled it a suicide at the scene. The tree was cut down, his family was not informed for over six hours, no autopsy was performed and no criminal investigation was ever opened. Keith's sister, Sherri, has spent the last 34 years investigating her brother's death, and looking for closure. She is closer than she's been in decades, but can one woman fight a corrupt justice system?
