Amazon MGM Studios and Alliance Home Entertainment have announced the DVD and Blu‑ray release of Is God Is, the critically acclaimed debut feature from writer‑director Aleshea Harris. The film arrives on July 28, following its celebrated theatrical run earlier this year.
Based on Harris’s award‑winning stage play—which earned the Obie Award (2018), Relentless Award (2016), and Helen Merrill Playwriting Award (2019)—Is God Is brings her explosive, genre‑bending work to the screen with the same intensity and emotional force that made the play a breakout success.
The story centers on twin sisters Racine (Kara Young) and Anaia (Mallori Johnson), who live with disfiguring burns and a lifetime of unanswered questions. Their lives shift dramatically when the mother (Vivica A. Fox) they believed dead summons them to her bedside and reveals a devastating truth: their father (Sterling K. Brown) is responsible for her condition—and theirs. She orders them to kill him for what he did, forcing the sisters to confront a violent past and choose between vengeance and mercy.
A fierce, stylish, and darkly comic revenge odyssey, Is God Is explores trauma, truth, and the cost of reclaiming one’s power.
The film premiered on May 15, 2026, to widespread critical acclaim. It is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 97% Tomatometer, and holds a 90% verified audience score on the Popcornmeter.
Is God Is was directed, written, and produced by Aleshea Harris and stars Kara Young, Mallori Johnson, Janelle Monáe, Erika Alexander, Mykelti Williamson, Josiah Cross, Vivica A. Fox, and Sterling K. Brown. Additional producers include Tessa Thompson, Kishori Rajan, Riva Marker, and Janicza Bravo.
Is God Is arrives on DVD and Blu‑ray on July 28.
