Oh Ava, you can do no wrong. Here's a smart, articulate black woman that really cares about her own people.
I sadly won't be making the New York Film Festival this year. I've been to Cannes, Toronto and Sundance so I have seen about 95% of the NYFF programming already, but there are 4 film premieres there that had me contemplating a trip to the "Big Apple": Ang Lee's "Billy Lynn's Long Half-Time Walk," James Gray's "The Lost City of Z," Mike Mill's "20th Century Women" and DuVernay's "The 13th" an in-depth look aat the country's incarceration system and specifically its target of African-Americans. Fascinating stuff, but also relevant stuff. So much so that I added it to my "What's Left" column for 2017. It's one of only 10 unscreened movies left in the year that I truly believe can leave a notably important artistic mark.
It will premiere on Netflix October 7th and get a limited release that same day. The trailer is now available and it does look like something that could really open up minds and cause change. DuVernay is a very important artist in the black community and outside it as well, so this is an important movie as well.

Now that Jeremy Latchman has replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as DC Studios CCO, the guy’s past will now be scrutinized ad nauseam by online hordes, and it’s already started.
