EUA: A Luta pela Liberdade

Kudos to the whole team behind it. I saw a lot of movies and series treating single topics regarding the fight for equality in the U.S.A. But this series truly shows the overarching correlations. How the politics and narratives of the money making slavery business profoundly poisoned the society for over hundred of years. How the past echoes through people minds and keeps them trapped into toxic belief systems. This series is educational on so many levels. After viewing "Amend" I appreciate the first article of the human rights even more: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."

Good documentary about the 14th amendment and the fight for equality (racial, gender, etc.) in the US. More focused in the history and not so much in discussing the present times. Smart decision.

Very informative documentary on the creation and impact of the 14th Amendment. It dives into the civil war and post reconstruction America and how the 14th was not accepted everywhere and rules created to get around the 14th by using "States Rights" as an excuse. The doc covers the plight against black America, women, and LGBTQ+, in regards to the use of the 14th to grant them rights.

I'm not an American, merely a fascinated observer who would love to see it overcome its social issues, especially as you guys are blessed with such an amazing landscape which you should be enjoying rather than fighting each other. I thought this series was timely, well-presented and thought-provoking. There was no "agenda", not in my humble opinion anyway. I think some people throw this term about without really thinking it through, as an attempt to discredit things they don't agree with. It's an attempt to silence or cover up very real issues and it's tragic that some people think like that really. Not everything is agenda; you can't revise or sugar-coat the past. Slavery and racism were very real, as are it's consequences which are still being felt today. The Native Americans were treated brutally. Prejudice, bigotry and all the nasty spin-offs that come with them are still in full bloom today, just as they were in the past. This is not agenda, it is fact, absolutely undisputed, no matter how many people put their heads in the sand.

Watch it and learn about the 14th amendment. Learn about some history. Just be receptive and thats it.
