“What is the 14th Amendment? If it took you longer than five seconds to
answer, then there’s a series that’s required viewing. “Amend: The Fight
for America” is a six-part docuseries spanning six hours created by Robe
Imbriano and Tom Yellin, directed by Kenny Leon
<https://www.rogerebert.com/cast-and-crew/kenny-leon>(“American Son
<https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/american-son-movie-review-2019>”)
and Reinaldo
Marcus Green
<https://www.rogerebert.com/cast-and-crew/reinaldo-marcus-green> (“Monsters
and Men <https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/monsters-and-men-2018>”), and
hosted by Will Smith <https://www.rogerebert.com/cast-and-crew/will-smith>.
The series takes viewers through the importance of the 14th Amendment—which
outlines the rights of citizens under “the equal protection of the law”—and
how it’s affected everything from black folks and women’s voting rights to
abortion to gay marriage. Throughout its six episodes, the series revisits
historic court rulings that have been engendered by the law.“
