In this episode, we speak about the Netflix Documentary, 13th, which explores the history of racial inequality in the United States, focusing on the fact that the nation's prisons are disproportionately filled with African-Americans.

You can watch the documentary through Netflix by searching, '13th by Ava Duvernay' in the search bar in Netflix.
