This Clip From Ava DuVernay’s 13th Shows the Chilling Link Between Donald Trump and White Supremacy
By E. Alex Jung and Jada Yuan
Ava DuVernay's 13th, which opened the New York Film Festival and is currently available to watch on Netflix, traces the history between the abolition of slavery with the 13th amendment and the current system of mass incarceration. It's a sobering, incisive documentary that doesn't pull any punches, even when it comes to criticizing both presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. This short, two-minute clip is a particularly effective piece of agitprop, as it looks at the parallels between Donald Trump supporters and white supremacists who resisted the civil-rights movement.

va DuVernay’s new documentary about mass incarceration made me feel ashamed. After it ended, I thought about how much I’d gotten used to in just under two years of covering the criminal justice system for Slate—how thoroughly I have absorbed the unfathomable scale of the country’s prison crisis, and how normal it now seems to me that we tolerate a state of affairs that should be intolerable. I watched the movie for the first time with my wife, and was caught off guard about 20 minutes in, when a title card stating that the prison population had grown from 357,292 in 1970 to 513,900 10 years later made her audibly gasp. “Wait until we get to the ’80s and ’90s,” I said.
