MORE ABOUT 13TH
Although the 13th amendment abolished slavery, it did not abolish slavery of prisoners. After the Civil War, there began the process of incarceration of Black men, which formed a new slavery. This documentary tracks how severe the condition has become, especially with for-profit prisons. Watch the official trailer for 13TH here.
