“13th” (Documentary by Ava DuVernay, 2016)

Abstract: Traces the U.S. prison system from the 13th Amendment’s loophole (allowing forced labor for convicts) through convict leasing, Jim Crow, War on Drugs, to the current prison-industrial complex. Features interviews with Angela Davis, Bryan Stevenson, etc. Very useful in political education settings to illustrate how racial control evolved rather than disappeared after slavery. — Netflix App or YouTube channel (free); sometimes free screenings via educational groups
