To celebrate and get the film out to more people, Apple is planning to re-release it in theaters for free.
The film will be free to watch in theaters from Friday, February 25 to Sunday, February 27. All of the free screenings will have open caption so they are accessible to people who are hard of hearing.
Audiences will be able to see the movie on a first come, first serve basis, with three daily show times available. A live Q&A with the cast and the director will be part of a show in Los Angeles.
Every so often, a film comes along that strikes a deep emotional chord for audiences who celebrate its win for humanity. CODA does that. Apple's Head of Features Matt Dentler said in a statement that the cast and crew of "CODA" gave the world a gift and we are inspired to pass it on.
CODA is the first film starring a predominantly Deaf cast to receive a nomination. It tells the story of Ruby, a high schooler who is the only hearing in her family. As she explores her love of singing in high school and prepares for her future, she also grapples with her family responsibilities and helping her father with his fishing business.
CODA has received mostly positive reviews since its launch and currently has a 96 percent positive rating.
