Just in time for the World Cup, Netflix will premiere the soccer-themed film This Is Not a Ball on June 13. The 90-minute documentary follows Brazilian artist and photographer Vik Muniz exploring the world’s passion for the sport while creating art constructed from 20,000 soccer balls.
… the streaming service also announced that BoJack Horseman, its original adult animated feature voiced by Will Arnett and Aaron Paul, will debut on Aug. 22. The 12 eps will revolve around a washed-up former sitcom star and human-like horse.
Award-winning documentary DamNation will screen in 23 cities across the U.S. on June 5, and arrive on Vimeo the following day. The film, which sheds lights on the positive effects of removing out-of-date dams, won awards at this year’s SXSW festival and at the DC Environmental Film Festival. On June 6, Vimeo On Demand will release the doc under the Patagonia Selects Collection; viewers can purchase it for $9.99 or rent for $5.99.

For the second year in a row, YouTube is supporting LGBT rights during Pride Month, but with a focus on athletes within the community in the #ProudToPlay campaign. The site launched a video on its YouTube Spotlight channel, staring openly gay athletes like Michael Sam as well as supportive straight athletes like Kobe Bryant, and popular YT LGBT creator Hannah Hart. Throughout the month, viewers can scroll through videos from LGBT athletes and creators and the You Can Play project.
