Review of 13th (2016) by Joel M — 06 Feb 2017
**** Good.
Acclaimed African-American filmmaker Ava Duvernay who helmed the critically-acclaimed movie "Selma" tries her hand at documentary direction with "13th". And no, this has nothing to do with Jason Voorhees, or Dan Marino for that matter. With "13th", Duvernay takes an in-depth look at the prison system in the United States and how it reveals the nation's history of racial inequality. It is a very cerebral & important documentary and Duvernay's directorial effort should be lauded. Now, is it the most riveting documentary I have seen? Not really. But it's definitely one that should be seen by all.
