Facebook will host its first paid movie premiere later this month, with the social network set to debut “The Outsider,” a new film on the construction of the 9/11 Museum in New York City.

The documentary will be available to Facebook users for $3.99 on August 19, according to Axios, the first outlet to report the news on Tuesday. The premiere window will be tight, though. Users will have a 12-hour opening between 8 p.m. ET on August 19 and 8 a.m. ET on August 20 to stream “The Outsider.” The film’s digital tickets will also include a panel discussion on Facebook Live.
