Want to educate yourself on history of racial inequality in the US and the Black Lives Matter movement? Great! Ava DuVernay's documentary 13th is the perfect place to start. The doco focuses on the fact the nation's prisons are disproportionately filled with Black people. If you'd like to take it a step further, DuVernay also directed a series on Netflix called When They See Us, which is equally important and eye-opening.
