14th

Opens Friday, November 27, 2026

 

Written in the wreckage of the Civil War, the 14th Amendment was meant to codify the promise of freedom and citizenship. Instead, it has become a permanent argument. Oscar nominee DuVernay’s new documentary pulls this fight out of the footnotes and into the present, chronicling a vicious battle that has raged for more than 150 years. Threading deep archival scholarship with today’s headlines, 14TH brings together legal minds, politicians, historians and cultural voices to explore a question America still hasn’t settled: Who gets to belong?
