Read my spoiler-free movie review of 13th (2016)

---

Many non-ignorant people are aware of racial inequality  in the prison system in the United States, but do they really know? 13th is the Ava DuVernay directed documentary that takes an in-depth look at America’s prison system and its history of racial inequality.

I don’t yet know why the film is called 13th. Maybe it has something  to do with the absence of luck associated with said number – especially in the US. I could also be completely wrong.

Whilst highlighting the continued issues, my fingers are crossed for evidence of some light at the end of the tunnel too. That would be truly great and very welcome. 

13th Release dates: October 7th, 2016 (US & UK)…

Happy Film Loving,
