About

An in-depth look at the prison system in the United States and how it reveals the nation's history of racial inequality.
The Thirteenth Amendment ostensibly abolished slavery, yet the modern American prison system functions as a loophole for racial control. This documentary traces a direct, chilling line from historical bondage to the era of mass incarceration.
