Eyes on the Prize is the documentary series that chronicles the American civil rights movement. But it can no longer be broadcast on TV, or released on DVD. Costly archival footage that appeared in the film was licensed for only a set number of years, and those licenses have mostly expired.


The film’s production company, Blackside, is investigating the cost to renew the rights. In the meantime, old, decaying VHS tapes, tucked away in school libraries, are about all that’s left of the seminal documentary.
