Here’s the official synopsis:
Amend: The Fight for America is a six-part docuseries that explores the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution – which, in 1868, promised liberty and equal protection for all persons – as America’s most enduring hallmark of democracy.
Amend deploys a groundbreaking narrative format featuring a number of luminaries (
Mahershala Ali, Diane Lane, Samuel L. Jackson, Pedro Pascal, Yara Shahidi, and more) breathing life into speeches and writings by the Fourteenth Amendment’s most ardent advocates and foes (including
Frederick Douglass, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and
Andrew Johnson) with insights from an inclusive array of contemporary thought leaders and experts.
