Watch Ava DuVernay’s extraordinary and well researched documentary “13TH”, which refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.
“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States.”
DuVernay shows the horrors of mass criminalization and the rapidly growing American prison industry. With a potent mixture of archival footage and testimony from activists, politicians, historians, and formerly incarcerated women and men, DuVernay creates a work of grand historical synthesis.
