"Fighting for Lincoln: The Wide Awakes" Trailer

“Fighting For Lincoln: The Wide Awakes” examines the history and consequence of the Wide Awakes group in helping to get Abraham Lincoln elected president in 1860. Along with the feature-length doc, Wide Awake Films also produced three mini-episodes as companion pieces to this film, as part of Curiosity Stream’s “Electing Lincoln” series.

I was looking forward to viewing this after seeing the trailer, but when I bring up my HBO MAX in the US and search for "Lincoln", this movie doesn't show up in the list of movies.

You'll find it on curiosity stream according to the description :)

@@arfyego0682 Never in my life heard of "Curiosity Stream" & after much searching, find that there is no good way of knowing what you're getting if you sign up via Amazon, which seems to be the only gateway. It's a bad system. There's a reason that after all this time there are only 38 thumbs up. So disappointing. This is too good to be lost to bad streaming agreements & algorithms. But thank you for trying to help.

Yeahhh militarized political clubs like this generally aren't a good thing but if it's for Lincoln and emancipation that's pretty cool
