In this acclaimed documentary, director Ava DuVernay examines the American prison system and its roots in the country's history of racial inequality. Titled after the amendment that abolished slavery except as punishment for crime, it argues that mass incarceration is a continuation of that legacy. Combining archival footage with scholars and activists, it builds a powerful case about race and justice in the United States. It is an urgent and influential film.
