Fifteen years. Six films. No studio, no streaming giant, no permission asked. Hidden Colors is filmmaker Tariq Nasheed's documentary series from his own King Flex Entertainment — built outside the Hollywood system, funded in part by the people who watch it, and still filling rooms in 2026. If you are looking for where to watch Hidden Colors — any of the six, from the 2011 original to the new one in theaters right now — this is the patrol's complete guide: what streams, what rents, what is DVD-only, and the one film you cannot watch at home yet no matter what anybody tells you.

The short answer, up front: the first film rents and sells on Prime Video and the Apple TV Store; films two, four and five stream on Vimeo On Demand; every one of the first five is on DVD from the official Hidden Colors store; and Hidden Colors 6 is, for now, a theater ticket and nothing else. The full film-by-film table is below — use it, because no single platform carries the whole series.

Six films, one argument

Hidden Colors (2011) — The Untold History of People of Aboriginal, Moor, and African Descent. The one that started it: the original image of Christ, the Moors, the great West African empires, and an African presence in the Americas before Columbus. Start here — rent or buy it on Prime Video or pick up the DVD from the official store.

Hidden Colors 2: The Triumph of Melanin (2012) — melanin itself, the prison-industrial complex, and how thriving Black economic communities were systematically undermined. The panel widens: Michelle Alexander, KRS-One and Dr. Claud Anderson are among the voices. Watch it on Vimeo On Demand or on DVD.

Hidden Colors 3: The Rules of Racism (2014) — the mechanics of systemic racism, laid out as a system with rules that can be studied and navigated. Dick Gregory, Paul Mooney, Nas, Killer Mike and Dr. Joy DeGruy are in the conversation. It is listed on the series' official Vimeo channel and sells on DVD from the official store.

Hidden Colors 4: The Religion of White Supremacy (2016) — the argument that white supremacy operates as an ideology with the grip of a religion. Jim Brown and Dr. Boyce Watkins appear. Rent or buy it on Vimeo On Demand, or take it in the DVD bundle below.

Hidden Colors 5: The Art of Black Warfare (2019) — warfare in seven chapters: historical, psychological, sexual, biological, health, educational and military. Ice-T, Chuck D and Michael Jai White are among the commentators. It was billed at the time as the final installment. It streams on Vimeo On Demand and sells on DVD — with a download option — from the official store.

Hidden Colors 6: The Culture of Resistance (2026) — 146 minutes on resistance across the generations: slave rebellions, survival under Jim Crow, civil-rights strategy, Black medicine, stolen inventions, hidden wealth and COINTELPRO-era infiltration, closing on group economics, political mobilization, independent media and self-defense. The makers frame it as a survival guide. EURweb reports its crowdfunding raised $261,760 from 3,240 backers. Right now, the only way to see it is in a theater — details and tickets below.

Where to watch Hidden Colors: the complete table

Every film, every confirmed route, checked 8 November 2026. Where a cell is empty, that route does not exist for that film — no matter what a random streaming blog claims.

Three notes before you spend a cent. First, the first film is not included free with a Prime subscription — it is rent-or-buy only, and the same goes for the Apple TV Store. Second, there is no Blu-ray edition of any film in this series — if a listing promises you one, it is not selling you this series. Third, King Flex promotes its own subscription app, FBA Stream, for the earlier films; availability can vary, so the DVD store and Vimeo remain the sure routes. And if the word in this site's name is new to you, the patrol has put the full definition of "tether" on the record — the films and the discourse grew up together.

Hidden Colors 6 is a theater event right now

The sixth film opened the way the series does everything: independently, one night at a time, city by city — a run announced for 4 to 19 November 2026, kicking off with premieres in Memphis and at Oakland's Grand Lake Theatre on 4 November, then Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and Orlando on the 5th, Charlotte on the 6th, and a nine-city wave on the 7th.

Now the receipts, kept in their proper tiers. Independent coverage first: EURweb reported before the release that the New York, Washington, D.C. and Dallas screenings had sold out — and that Dallas added a second showing off the strength of it. That encore runs today, Sunday 8 November, at the Texas Theatre, and New York has since added a full run at Cinema Village, 13 to 20 November. Second tier: the organizer's own ticketing pages showed sold-out notices for Cincinnati, Baltimore, Charleston and Charlotte. Third tier: Nasheed himself posts that the film has sold out in most cities, with dozens of screenings completely full. What nobody has published is a box-office total — so if you see a gross quoted anywhere, know that it was invented. The sold-out rooms are documented; the numbers game is not part of this record.

Want a seat while seats exist? Tickets and the current city list are on the official Hidden Colors 6 site — and if your city is gone, the catch-up plan is below.

When will Hidden Colors 6 stream?

Honest answer: nobody has announced it. As of today there is no streaming date, no video-on-demand date and no DVD date for Hidden Colors 6 — theaters only. What the record does show is the pattern of the first five: after their runs, they came home on DVD through the official store and on Nasheed's own digital ground — Vimeo On Demand and the FBA Stream app — not on the big subscription platforms. Expect the same road for part six, but do not let anybody sell you a date that has not been announced.

In the meantime, the homework is five films deep and every one of them is one click away in the table above: start with the original on Prime Video, run two through five on Vimeo and the official DVD store, and be current by the time part six comes home. A people that keeps its own record does not wait for a studio to hand it back — that is the whole series in one sentence, and it is the same reason this patrol keeps the lineage's own history on file. Patrolling the online borders, one tether at a time.
