AVA DUVERNAY. 13TH

This piercing, Oscar-nominated film won Best Documentary at the Emmys, the BAFTAs and the NAACP Image Awards.

It's reminder of the long misery that this year came from, and the fight for equality that we all must continue.

This sequence provides the race context of the murder of Fred Hampton around the time shown in Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago 7, and how Angela Davis' activism came from the Montgomery church bombing shown in Spike Lee's Four Little Girls, and the 40-year old corporate creation of ALEC, first evidence of corporate writing of U.S. laws that monetized racist corporate mass incarceration.
