"We are honored that REVOLT saw that this is a critical moment in African American and civil rights history, and with T.I. leading the charge, this should be shown to the world," says Steve Raze and Mac Mills, executive producers and CEOs of AGA Agency.

"After months of mass protests in the streets demanding social justice - and now a presidential election just weeks away - it's obvious that we're at a historic crossroads where systemic change is not only possible, but critically necessary," says Detavio Samuels, Chief Operating Office at REVOLT. "From Pain to Power not only documents this moment in time, but charts our next steps forward. We couldn't be any prouder to premiere this program on REVOLT."

The pertinent documentary will arrive just weeks before the upcoming general election, a strong focus of REVOLT's news coverage among its well-known "VOTE OR DIE" campaign, which aims to inspire increased voter engagement. Tonight, the network will present a special episode of REVOLT BLACK NEWS examining the current political landscape at 9pm ET/6pm PT.
