Source evidence
1 src · 2 checksNoteThe source confirms nearly all major claims: director, Sundance premiere, 90 minutes, Netflix April 5 2021, Rotten Tomatoes 100%/52 reviews/7.9 average, Emmy nomination for Outstanding Science and Technology Documentary, Calgary IFF Best International Documentary win, Social Impact Media Awards Best Director win, and NAACP Image Award nomination. However, the claim states the documentary is 'Algorithmic Justice League's documentary' but the source indicates it is a documentary about the Algorithmic Justice League (which was created by Joy Buolamwini after the film's events), not a production by the organization itself. Additionally, the PBS Independent Lens broadcast is mentioned in the references but not explicitly stated in the main text excerpt provided. These are minor issues that make the claim partially rather than fully confirmed.
NoteThe source text confirms several key facts: director (Shalini Kantayya), Sundance premiere (January 2020), running time (90 minutes), and the connection to Algorithmic Justice League (Buolamwini created it). However, the provided excerpt is incomplete and cuts off at the 'Release' section, so it does not address the Netflix release date, PBS broadcast, Rotten Tomatoes score, Emmy nomination, or other awards. These claims are unverifiable from the given source text, making this a partial confirmation rather than full confirmation.
