Written in the wreckage of the Civil War, the 14th Amendment was meant to close the door on the hierarchy of human worth. Instead, it has become a permanent argument. Ava DuVernay’s 14th pulls this constitutional fight out of the footnotes and into the present, chronicling the vicious battle over the amendment that has raged for over 150 years. Threading deep archival scholarship with piercing headlines of today, 14th brings together legal minds, politicians, historians and cultural voices in direct conversation with a question America still hasn’t settled: Who gets to belong?

The result is certainly educational and informative, but rarely does it feel as challenging or dramatically cogent as DuVernay’s previous work. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 3 hrs ago
The documentary 14th is about the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment and explains why the amendment's edicts are under attack. The movie is well-researched, but its interviews are overstuffed with 'elite people' and mostly exclude 'everyday people.' Go to Full Review Joey Magidson Awards Radar 9 hrs ago
