I watched the 13th on Netflix yesterday (the 13th referring to the applicable amendment to the US constitution.)
It's a documentary about slavery, the "war" on drugs, mass incarceration and the prison industrial complex in the US.
It's powerful, moving and deeply uncomfortable viewing. It doesn't pretend to be impartial but a polemic about the treatment of African Americans.
