According to the amendment of Article 13 of the Constitution of the United States of America, there will be no slavery or forced labor, except for the criminal punishment for which the person responsible is duly made.
This document, led by Ava DuVernay, tries to show that this amendment has not been implemented. So why are 40% of prisoners in the US black, and why is the probability that a black person ends up in prison is higher than that of a white person?
The answer is clear: inequality and discrimination continue to exist. Those years that Martin Luther King raised his voice against racism are not as much a part of the past as we often think.
With this audiovisual clip titled for Oscar, DuVernay will open more eyes than one in the form of mass African-American arrests in the United States.

16. Presents JonBenet (2017)
This documentary brings us to a labyrinthine way in which the unprecedented filmmaking process is intended to recount the murder of Jon Benet, a six-year-old girl who was murdered twenty years ago.
