Radio personality Dennis Prager and comedian Adam Carolla's film about free speech, "No Safe Spaces," is now streaming on-demand through Salem Media Group.
"No Safe Spaces" has been widely praised, holding a 99 percent rating from audience members on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The film, which examines the politically correct world of academia driven by the political left, was not previously available to most potential viewers.
"We were only on 200 screens so we knew that many of our fans didn't get a chance to watch the film in theaters and we were working hard to deliver it to home entertainment but it took a lot longer than we anticipated," Carolla told Fox News. "So while we've made a deal for a proper release in the summer, we wanted to say thank you to our fans by making it available for a short window especially during this difficult time when we're all stuck at home."
