13th is a documentary film directed by Ava DuVernay.

The film explores the "intersection of race, justice, and mass incarceration in the United States;" it is titled after the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, adopted in 1865, which abolished slavery throughout the United States and ended involuntary servitude except as a punishment for conviction of a crime.

You can watch on your own time on Netflix, YouTube, or the 13^th website, or join this screening prior to the panel!

Each year in March, the GCWS (Consortium for Graduate Studies in Gender, Culture, Women & Sexuality) hosts a film festival, Women Take the Reel (WTTR), highlighting films directed by women on issues related to gender, race, class, and sexuality studies. This year, partnering schools are collaborating to screen just two films virtually. You can watch the film anytime on your own, or join a screening. Either way, all are welcome to join the panels.

The panel discussion for this film will be on Thurs 3/25 at 4:30pm. Please RSVP.
