Important documentary
This documentary shines a very bright light on two fundamental issues going on in our country. The power of money and it’s influence on profitable incarceration and ultimately perpetual slavery. I think it did a fabulous job of being virtually opinion free and making a point to stay focused on facts. That said, I think you have to be open to the information. By that, whether you lean right or left, it’s best to digest this documentary with an open mind free of your own political thoughts and opinions.

It’s foundation is about slavery and how it plays a role in modern events. It suggests that slavery never went away, it merely reinvented itself to “keep up with the times”, always having financial gain being the catalyst for it’s continued existence. It really shines when it presents it’s case on how mass incarceration is today’s slavery. The direct correlation between labor based slavery of yesteryear and labor based incarceration of today is frightening in regards to similarity. You can deny it if you choose to, but if you continue to do so after seeing this presentation, then it’s simply because you deny fact.

When Colin Kaepernick protested the flag, though I’m a black man, I was offended by his stance. After watching this documentary however, I look at his point of view with a different lens. I don’t entirely agree with his approach, but I have to admit that oppression in this country is still very alive and well. I think too many people look at oppression in traditional views like slavery and the holocaust. But in my opinion, you have to appreciate oppression as the complexity that it is, in order to acknowledge it’s existence. Again this documentary does an excellent job of making that case. I won’t delve too deep into why, I would just simply recommend watching it.

Word of caution however. This documentary doesn’t pull it’s punches. It’s very dark, very disconcerting regarding politics and if it hits you right, it will make you angry and sad all at once. My two children stayed in the forefront of my mind while watching this, and my heart bled for them throughout, seeing what kind of world that awaits them. I tried to be optimistic about light being brought to this issue in such a well put together way, but I believe that we as a country, still have a ways to go, seeing that someone like Trump could get so close to being President.

Overall, this documentary is very important and should be seen by everyone able. Whether you lean right or left, you cannot deny some of the dirty deals made by politicians to keep their pockets lined via profitable incarceration. Real change needs to happen without question, but this documentary drives home the point that as long as “the almighty dollar” rules, don’t expect much change anytime soon.

Interesting but One-Sided
Most documentaries I have seen lately (on a variety of topics) have been one-sided, so it’s fine if you know that going into it. This was well done, though, and shed a lot of light on current events, but also the events leading up to the explosive times we now find ourselves in.

***I took slight issue with the Assata Shakur and Angela Davis section. Do your research and find out why their portrayal is controversial for some (Shakur more than Davis).***

I think everyone should watch this one. Empathy and kindness towards the oppressed will only come for some if they would just educate themselves just a little bit, and then continue on to educate themselves further. We all have much work to do.
