Filmmaker Ava DuVernay Links 14th Amendment to Current Democratic Threats

Director Ava DuVernay's new documentary, "14th," examines the critical role of the 14th Amendment in American democracy. Released in the lead-up to the midterm elections, the film diverges from contemporary discussions on AI and tech billionaires to focus on foundational legal principles.

DuVernay expresses grave concern about the current state of affairs, stating, "We're in the midst of something very sinister, something very dangerous." The documentary's timely arrival underscores anxieties surrounding the health of democratic institutions and the potential threats they face.
