The 2016 film 13th explores the "intersection of race, justice, and mass incarceration in the United States, it is titled after the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, adopted in 1865, which abolished slavery throughout the United States and ended involuntary servitude except as a punishment for conviction of a crime.” Acclaimed director Ana DuVernay examines this precept focusing on the history of racial inequality and the fact that our nation’s prisons are currently disproportionately filled with African-Americans. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary and won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary. The New York Times praised the film saying “Ms. DuVernay makes a startling and powerful statement about the prison industrial complex and the history of black lives in post-Jim-Crow America. The movie run time is 1 hour, 40 minutes, and is available on Netflix and YouTube.
