Radio Facts: Radio Facts: ava-duvernayThe title of Ava DuVernayโ€™s extraordinary and galvanizing documentary 13TH refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which reads โ€œNeither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States.โ€ The progression from that second qualifying clause to the horrors of mass criminalization and the sprawling American prison industry is laid out by DuVernay with bracing lucidity. With a potent mixture of archival footage and testimony from a dazzling array of activists, politicians, historians, and formerly incarcerated women and men, DuVernay creates a work of grand historical synthesis.
