Celebrating Black History Month: Cinema of Conflict and Transformation Film Series presents 13th: From Slave to Criminal in One Month from Ava DuVernay, director of Selma.

“13th is a virtual tour through racism — 150 years of oppression in 100 minutes. It gives context to the current moment of mass criminalization, of incarceration as an industry, prison as profit, punishment as profit. And the current moment of the declaration that the lives of black people are valuable and matter to the world” (DuVernay in The Atlantic, October 2016)
