Episode Details

Ava DuVernay’s new Netflix documentary “14th” dives deep into the powerful, often overlooked Fourteenth Amendment — the constitutional cornerstone that granted citizenship and equal protection to formerly enslaved people after the Civil War. Building on her acclaimed “13th,” this film explores how the amendment remains a lightning rod for political debate, featuring top historians, lawmakers, and cultural voices. It highlights the Supreme Court’s recent 6-3 rebuke of Trump’s failed attempt to undermine birthright citizenship — a core tenet of the amendment — with Chief Justice Roberts affirming its enduring promise. But with Trump calling the ruling a “miscarriage of justice” and vowing to keep fighting, the battle over this foundational right is far from over.
