Is The United States vs. Billie Holiday on Netflix?

Based on the book Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs by Johann Hari, The United States vs. Billie Holiday premiered last month. Starring Andra Day as Billie Holiday, the film follows the incomparable singer as she’s targeted by the government after the release of her controversial song “Strange Fruit.”

For those of you who don’t know the song’s significance, I’ll provide you with some background information. “Strange Fruit” was recorded by Billie Holiday in 1939 in response to the lynching of Black Americans in the United States. The song’s lyrics compare lynching victims to the fruit of trees. The song is made all the more poignant by Holiday’s resonant voice.
