Screenings

DuVernay turns her attention to the amendment adopted three years after the American Civil War, giving citizenship and equal civil rights to all, and how the current US administration has systemically sought to revoke these rights. Assembling a range of political, academic and topical interviewees, 14th is a fascinating, revealing and essential investigation into the complexities of US – and global – history and politics.
