Trailer
Why watch this film?
In the 1960s, Blacks had the right to vote - but in practice, they never could exercise it. So focusing on Martin Luther King's single great fight, which was precisely for the right to vote, Ava DuVernay's movie sets out exactly who the activist was, his positions, and teachings. More than a religion or color, he preached unity among people. Something that we still need today....

A Wrinkle In Time
Albert Einstein taught us: it's all relative. Time is too, as is the movies - and this concept fits 'A Wrinkle in Time' like a glove. The movie, directed by Ava DuVernay (of 'Selma: A Struggle for Equality' and Oscar nominated for 'The 13th Amendment') and written by Jennifer Lee (who has an Oscar on her shelf for 'Frozen'), brings a message of empowerment, albeit lightly - which could have a positive effect on the new generations. It's certainly a work to watch with the family and let you be enchanted by the magic, just like children do. But to the more calloused eyes of those who have already grown up, its charm fades away and the movie's issues appear, which may justify the heavier hand of the critics. If you watch a movie with your heart, the suggestion is there. After all, as Einstein himself said, "imagination is more important than knowledge".
13th
There is a hard truth: the criminalization of Blacks. The documentary, exclusive to Netflix and provided free by the company on YouTube, goes deep into this issue, exploring from the law that abolished slavery in the US to the million-dollar business of federal prisons. Watch the documentary and discover that, in practice, the 13th Amendment has not been put into practice for millions of people.
