The source text confirms most core facts: director, Sundance premiere, runtime, Netflix release date, and exact Rotten Tomatoes metrics (100%, 52 reviews, 7.9/10). However, the source excerpt provided is incomplete (cuts off mid-sentence in the Reception section) and does not address several claims: PBS Independent Lens broadcast, Emmy nomination for Outstanding Science/Technology Documentary, Calgary IFF Best International Documentary award, Social Impact Media Awards Best Director, or NAACP Image Award nomination. These items are either unverifiable from the provided source text or may exist in the full Wikipedia article but are not shown in the excerpt. The claim about Algorithmic Justice League being the documentary's creator/producer is also not addressed in the source text.

Note: The source text confirms several key facts: director (Shalini Kantayya), Sundance premiere (January 2020), running time (90 minutes), and the connection to Algorithmic Justice League (Buolamwini created it). However, the provided excerpt is incomplete and cuts off at the 'Release' section, so it does not address the Netflix release date, PBS broadcast, Rotten Tomatoes score, Emmy nomination, or other awards. These claims are unverifiable from the given source text, making this a partial confirmation rather than full confirmation.
