Goodbye snowpocalypse, hello power and water! Now, back to our regularly scheduled program, this week covering Black Documentaries. There are lots to choose from in this category, but we want to give some variety so we chose two very different docs. First we have 13th, Ava DuVernay's deep-dive into the reinvention of black imprisonment from slavery to modern mass incarceration through the 13th amendment. Then we have Black Art, the exploration of significant black artists, their work, and their disproportionately low representation in museums, galleries, and other spaces. Enjoy!
