Inspired by American history, this powerful play unfolds during an explosive moment in Detroit when the soulful sounds of Motown are breaking records and breaking down barriers.

Prodigy. Superstar. Activist and Exile. As one of the true divas of the 20th Century, vocal powerhouse Nina Simone defied classification and defined a generation. Four women give us an intimate look at her music and lays bare the rich legacy of this icon. Nina Simone mastered all genres. Her command of the American songbook was legendary! Her interpretations of Broadway classics, rock and roll, soul stirring gospel, jazz and the blues were genius.

[*] 13TH Film: The 13th Amendment Now

#############################################

13TH is a 2016 American documentary by director Ava DuVernay.

Centered on race in the United States criminal justice system, the film is titled after the Thirteenth

Amendment to the United States Constitution which theoretically outlawed slavery.

DuVernay's documentary argues that slavery is being perpetuated, however,

through mass incarceration.

13TH has garnered acclaim from film critics.

The full Thirteenth Amendment reads as follows: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude,

except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall

exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
