How to watch The United States vs. Billie Holiday online from anywhere

The director of the 2009 film "Precious" Lee Daniels is back with a new film chronicling the life of jazz legend Billie Holiday and we have all the details on how you can watch The United States vs. Billie Holiday online.

The film is based on the book Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs and stars Andra Day in its titular role. While The United States vs. Billie Holiday was initially set to be released in theaters, the streaming service Hulu acquired the rights to the film back in December of last year.

For those unfamiliar with the story of Billie "Lady Day" Holiday, she was an American jazz and swing music singer who rose to nationwide fame in the US during the 1930s and 40s. However, it was her controversial and heart-wrenching ballad Strange Fruit, based on a poem by Abel Meeropol and recorded in 1939, that got Billie Holiday in hot water with the federal government.

As Billie Holiday was also a heroin addict, she was targeted by the Federal Department of Narcotics as part of a growing effort to escalate and racialize the war on drugs. The first commissioner of the newly formed bureau, Harry Anslinger decided to send in an African American agent named Jimmy Fletcher to track Holiday's every move as white agents had a hard time not being conspicuous in Harlem and Baltimore.

Whether you're a fan of Billie Holiday's work or just want to learn more about this difficult time in U.S. history, we'll show you how to watch The United States vs. Billie Holiday from anywhere in the world.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week.
