‘14th’ Review: Ava DuVernay’s Powerful Sequel to ‘13th’

Ava DuVernay returns with '14th', a powerful documentary sequel to her acclaimed film '13th', premiering at the New York Film Festival.

DuVernay transforms constitutional history into a vibrant, living narrative rather than a dry academic lecture.
