Chi Raq is a modern day adaptation of the ancient Greek play Lysistrata by Aristophanes, set against the backdrop of gang violence in Chicago.
More importantly, it tells the story of black women in gang areas who withhold sex from their gangbanger boyfriends until they stop killing each other.
Chi Raq is the latest impending box office bomb from Amazon, who releases the movie in a handful of theaters the same day that they release it on their streaming service.
