Ava DuVernay's "13TH" Documentary (Out Now)

[Deltron]

The title of Ava DuVernay’s extraordinary and galvanizing documentary 13TH refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which reads “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States.” The progression from that second qualifying clause to the horrors of mass criminalization and the sprawling American prison industry is laid out by DuVernay with bracing lucidity. With a potent mixture of archival footage and testimony from a dazzling array of activists, politicians, historians, and formerly incarcerated women and men, DuVernay creates a work of grand historical synthesis.

HBO lost the crown long ago. even for the handful of shows are still actually in production, they're not even giving up 10 episodes a season. all the showtime series give you 12 episodes at a season. on top of that, on HBO, the ONLY current original series I'm watching on there is vice prinicpals and ballers.

this is a premium service thats charging out the ass for 8 episodes of girls that are only 30 minutes each

on top of that, the netflix original shows are all 13 episodes plus they're shot in 4K. what does HBO have to compete with that?
