Between the World and Me will be available on HBO and to stream on HBO Max.
In addition to producing this special, HBO will be making a charitable donation to Howard University and the Apollo Theater.
“I can think of no one better to put Between the World and Me on screen and no better home for it than HBO.”
The stage adaptation based on Between the World and Me was originally performed in 2018 as a limited engagement at the Apollo Theater and the Kennedy Center, with encore performances at the Apollo Theater and again in Atlanta in 2019.
