Film screening and discussion | 13th by Ava DuVernay

In light of the recent protests in support of the black lives matter movement, we are screening the documentary 13th by Ava DuVernay.

13th (100 min) is a 2016 American documentary by director Ava DuVernay. The film explores the "intersection of race, justice, and mass incarceration in the United States;" it is titled after the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, adopted in 1865, which abolished slavery throughout the United States and ended involuntary servitude except as a punishment for conviction of a crime.

We will start the film at approx 18:00 followed by a discussion and reflection.
