Join us for a Virtual Movie Night: 13TH Sponsored by the ACBA and CHBA Part of our Racial Equity Series... Please join us for our next NetflixParty movie night! We'll be watching 13TH, a documentary about mass criminalization and the prison industrial complex. The NetflixParty chrome plug-in has had a few upgrades since we last tried to watch together, so we're trying it again to seamlessly stream together while maintaining the ability to chat in the chat feature. 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. Note: You must have a subscription to Netflix to join. Before the event, please add the netflixparty extension to your chrome browser. https://www.netflixparty.com/ Date and Time: November 2, 2020, 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Location: Zoom Cost: Free Email [email protected] if you'd like to bring a guest. Online registration closes the day before the event. If you have trouble registering, please contact [email protected].
