My film “Am I Racist?” is officially the top grossing documentary of the decade. We’ve also now passed the domestic box office total for “Super Size Me.” Thank you to everyone who supported the film.

Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!

“Am I Racist?” is The Daily Wire’s first theatrical release. Walsh starred in the documentary “What Is a Woman?” in 2022 to expose the madness of radical left-wing gender ideology. Both projects were directed by Justin Folk. 

The film has a 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes with more than 2,500 verified reviews. Despite the overwhelming popularity of the movie, no mainstream critics have reviewed the film yet.

Popular YouTube movie reviewer Jeremy Jahns came under fire from fans when he posted his positive review. 

“Matt Walsh is surprisingly funny,” Jahns said, adding that he had a “good time and some good laughs” while watching it.

Podcast host Joe Rogan also gave “Am I Racist?” a good review. “Your movie is really funny. It’s really funny,” Rogan told Walsh during an interview last month. “By myself, laughing out loud hysterically today,” he went on. “I watched it in the sauna, I watched it in the gym. … It’s one of the best comedies I’ve seen in a long time because there’s so many moments in it that are so uncomfortable.”

Walsh posted about critics ignoring the film despite its massive success. “This isn’t a mistake,” he wrote in an X post in September. “You’d be hard-pressed to find another film that opened in >1,500 theaters that was completely snubbed by mainstream critics. If ‘Am I Racist?’ were terrible, these outlets could have reviewed it & trashed it. But the reality is they’re afraid of it.”

Many of the DEI activists featured in the film, including “White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo, deleted their social media accounts following its release.
