The logline says, \u201cWritten in the wreckage of the Civil War, the 14th Amendment was meant to close the door on the hierarchy of human worth. Instead, it has become a permanent argument.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDuVernay said, \u201cIf \u201913th\u2019 asked who gets caged, then 14th asks who gets counted. This is not a film about the past tense of freedom. I\u2019m not interested in asking you to look back.
