Whats it about?

[USAF]

13th - Centered on race in the United States criminal justice system, the film is titled after the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which outlawed slavery (unless as punishment for a crime, which was a little noticed clause in the Amendment that was aimed at providing a continued source of FREE labor for white Southerners through the criminal justice system). What happened then has manifested itself into what is now called the Prison Industrial Complex. DuVernay's documentary argues that slavery is being effectively perpetuated through mass incarceration.
