This NETFLIX documentary has been acclaimed for its approachable and critical analysis of the 13th
Amendment. The documentary, however, like the book The New Jim Crow, has been critiqued for having a
limited outlook on incarceration. Thinking critically, how could the documentary be stronger, if the works
by Berg & Lesi (2006) and Forman (2012) were utilized?
Note: The documentary is highly influenced by the book The New Jim Crow. Michelle Alexander, author of
The New Jim Crow, is a significant contributor in the movie.
