Ava DuVernay’s “14th” transforms the Constitution into an urgent examination of American democracy, tracing the promises and betrayals of the 14th Amendment from Reconstruction and racial terror to contemporary battles over citizenship, equality and constitutional rights. Closing the New York Film Festival, DuVernay’s exceptionally produced documentary makes history impossible to ignore.
