- When the United States of America was founded, the ideals of freedom and equality did not apply to all people. These are the stories of the brave Americans who fought to right the nation’s wrongs and enshrine the values we hold most dear into the Constitution - with liberty and justice for all. Executive produced and hosted by Will Smith.
After escaping slavery, Frederick Douglass becomes a pivotal voice calling for citizenship for Black Americans, a dream realized in the 14th Amendment.

This is actually really good. For someone who isn't from the US but always sees about the racial injustice in that country and hears about how things went down but never actually fully understands this has opened my eyes to the fullest.
Indeed. God bless America but today they are paying for the genocide and slavery.

@@lioneljaftha3473 Yes, God bless America because compared to UK…, they abolished slavery first.

I saw this entire documentary with tears in my eyes and so many feelings over learning so much. Thank you Netflix for putting this on your channel and now on CZcams.

I grew up and had a "good" education in the US, and must admit I had no idea who Frederick Douglas was for much of my life. And then only snippets. I cannot say how grateful I am late in life to watch this powerful film and see just how Abraham Lincoln and others worked with Douglas and others to bring about the great social shift that America still struggles with to this day. Much gratitude for a sophisticated, clear, passionate and much-needed story to fill us in on unforgivable gaps in education.
When the actor playing Frederick Douglass began speaking I burst into tears. So powerful.
Marshal Ali. He’s a great actor
This should be mandatory to watch for EVERYONE.
@@boronaxe3241 Why you want America to fall rather than systematic oppression and racism? America is just a landmass, it had nothing to do with making people slaves. Are you American? If so wishing your Country falls is like being a passenger in a plane and hoping the plane crashes.
@@boronaxe3241 I dont know you but I dont think you are dumb, just frustrated and fed up. Sometimes that can get in the way of our better judgment. We are only human after all. Peace and Prosperity to you and yours. Keep your head up Brother.
This is very war that every citizen of the United States of America, had lost their freedom, whether Black, white, or grizzly gray. The Revolutionary Wars' victory was comPromised, as all ParticiPants in the battle were once again Placed under rule of England 🇬🇧 and the British crown 👑. DuPed by the tRUth, a white lie. The Constitution was even changed. Subtle, yet still severe.

Why ain't Fredrick Douglas on a coin or Bill 💸💵💵 his words cut deep his Truth is undeniable.
if there was justice, he would have been the first President of the United States.
@@goofynewfypupthe same reason. Harriett Tubman isn't on the $20 bill, white resistance from secretary of treasury Ted Mnuchin, that's why Auntie Mad Maxine dragged his snot nosed dweeb a## at the Senate financial hearings
I love this! At 38, I'm trying to unlearn & relearn a lot of things on my healing journey surrounding religion, family, society etc. This is very helpful!

Amen and I wish the same to you!
Thank you brother and the same wish is extended to you.
Thank you, Netflix for making this important documentary available to all. It's moving, educational and motivational!
What a fantastic series! Just the right thing these days. Kudos to Netflix and everyone involved for this direly needed piece of education. And in particular for making it available on CZcams for free! A real must-see.
I’m a simple person.I see Mahershala, I upvote
Thanks Netflix. Thanks Mr. Smith for educating me. And great thanks to my ancestors for their struggle. To give me a better life
This is such an educational documentary for me. While in school in American Samoa and High School in Hawaii and I was not really knowledgeable about the Black History. And when I moved to "America," I watched the differences between how white and black folks have not the same rights. To make a longer story short! My skin is brown and I also now feel the awful way that most people of color are being treated. I just want to say thank you for this documentary because I've learned something new about my right as a human-being. And now I will Embrace My 14th Amendment Right!!!!!
This is, YES!! Netflix continue bringing it please.
cheers to us who don't have Netflix and just wait for trailers here and now we have a full series 🍻🍻
First and foremost I love Will Smith ❤️ "Moving the black people to Costa Rica - Porque?" Lmao 😂. And secondly, this was a very educational video thank you for the upload 🙋♀️
Porqie? It was most like that
damn i dropped a tear and am not even american,someone give an applause to this actors and producers ,they were incredible. this should be in school programms but i guess american education system not the best yet.
You dropped a tear because you have a heart! May God Continue To Bless You
America doesn't even have an education system, it's a sideshow, a circus a political tool for corporate greed
An outstanding and interesting documentary on the 14th amendment. Great actors portraying important historical figures.
For us who didn't pay Netflix this month lol🤣
You also have great nature docus in Netflix CZcams Channel.
Its to push the new agenda, they want everyone to see it for free!!
@@VITOLLFOTOGRAFIA Yes, and that nature documentary is extraordinary, with stunning footage narrated by David Attenborough. You gotta watch it (it's Our Planet)
@@muhmalikali i Know It 👌
@@mikeycraig8970 agenda? which one? Civic Education? History of the 14th amendment? Equal protection? Due Process? The importance of the 14th in how it applies to expanding rights to every American? Is that the agenda you are referring to?
This is gold
America is a hypocrisy not a democracy “ Malcolm x”

Oh boo hoo, spoiled people hang around this soft ass attitude. Collectivists DON'T EVEN KNOW THEMSELVES...JUST POINT. AT EVERYONE. WAKE THE HELL UP.

Wow the man Bingham by looking at his photo you would never think that he did what he did his words was incredible wow so much history that it's not taught in schools
A black man on a pirate ship in 1650 had more rights than a black person living in America in 1889 and that’s a fact just thought I’d throw that out there🤷🏾♂️
🙏 Thank you, Netflix, for making this to educate and open people's eyes 👏
So profoundly rich and inspiring.! The big concern is that black freedom isn't totally agreed in the US and still is discussed... African americans have deepen the US history on any aspects... Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Sorjourner Truth : the backbones of fight for black people freedom in the US.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. It was excellent and informative.
That Douglas speech was Amazing
I've only seen it twice ✌️, but could watch this *_over and over - and over and over again..._*
are you a masochist?
What an excellent work! Thank you!
I'am speechlees but Thank to the unknowing heroes as ferick douglas and best actors of 21 centuries
Thank you so much for this. I love it
Thanks it's about time the true of history is told.
I’m here after hearing of Netflix possibly canceling this series after the Will Smith/ Chris Rock matter.
After seeing this I’m thinking there’s no way we’re gonna let that happen!
In fact if anything it will make this series more popular!
Liberty! And justice for all! 🇫🇮🇪🇺
Freedom is the only human right and it will not let anyone stop it till all people are free. A lesson we will all learn.
Sad it took such a horrible fight to accomplish a little bit of it.
I am constantly reminded that they didn't have to do us like that..... They wanted to. There are those who don't even see our humanity. They will. Ether they will or their descendants.
Ikr like we all have been through a lot
Thank you for sharing this video. It's very well made; I'm going to watch all the episodes of it.
Not to downplay this powerful piece in history? But be thankful for what we all have today. Whatever color or gender, look forward to a better future.
Being from Africa ...... this is an amazing amazing creation giving you an understanding of what the hope of America was intended to be. it is this hope for freedom that we hope for
Thank you for this video!!
This is such a brilliant series .. thank you!
But what about the indigenous people of america?? why are they not included in this series?!
very interesting...
because rhey do not matter
What do u think about when u think if america?
Me : Guns, fat, burgers, bacon, school shootings, thinking they have the best country
Will smith: citisanship, justice, freedom
One day and it is coming very soon....there will be no more division of humanity and all our human rights will be free as our beloved Creator Source always has intended for us to live in peace everyday and become more spiritually mature as one civilization under one Creator Source , even though we have all been seeded here by many different types of galactic family members who are mostly benevolent. We have already won the universal haulacaust and now we are taking back our freedom and human rights as our birth rights as free souls who have been coming back many many lifetimes for this greatest awakening ever during this shift change and Revelations period where the truth shall set everyone free from the dark forces of greed power and control over humanity and is now being replaced with love , compassion kindness generosity and service to others with more healthy programs instead of being under the thumbs of big pharma tech globalist world leaders straight to the Vatican and under the tunnels under the White House where there was much satanic rituals child trafficking tortured children and families used as guinea pigs and service to satanic sick individuals. WE THE PEOPLE are here to learn the truth and the truth shall set everyone free from the past lower vibrational entities of reptilian bloodlines dna that have been seeded here by the Annunakis used for digging gold and agriculture and then took it out of context and way too far into the deep state of mind control and greed for selfish agendas behind closed doors. The secret societies hidden agendas and the alphabet soup groups are being removed one by one and the swamps are being drained one by one of the wicked ones who have not had our best interest at heart 🙏💖 Amen
@@gabriellelowe7422 uhm, okay
@@gabriellelowe7422 woah that’s a lot to read
Wow, great history that was not taught in American schools for obvious reasons... Fortunately Netflix and other forums give all people the opportunities to dig deep into history and unearth important parts that were buried.
Are they paying you or something? As a pan-Africanist, I can’t find ANY untampered truths on netflix when it comes to African history.
If this wasn’t taught in school, then where the hell does people get this information… what’s wrong with you?

@@l3luel3xus ahh yes the famous Jack Sparrow
thank you Netflix for giving this here
This was wonderful.
The 14th is the reason why Puerto Ricans are citizens too. It applies also to own territories too. Guam is another example too.
It's 5:41am, I just started watching, once Mr. Douglass escapes to New York, the white guy says that Mr. Douglass is breathing "free air" for the first time. That phrase broke me down, I had to pause the clip. After a few minutes I resumed, and had to pause again at that phrase. Slavery's air wasn't free and as a run away slave his air was still not free.
Will Smith - you're my hero and that video that you commanded so greatly has inspired me and reveals a lot of truths to the world and rightly so, to the American people and first and foremost to our people. We thank you and thanks also to all those contributors who participated and paid positive attributes re the American Proclamation and info re Lincoln I was not aware of. Thank you.
as a government teacher! I thank you!!
Great documentary ❤️
Paul Robeson wrote on this in writings at Columbia Law Schools
Will Smith as a commentator is so awesome
@king offa you right 😂
@king offa idk dude,even if I don't care for him Jaden became pretty successful.
A message to the people ✊🏾
I remember 'The Transporter' the movie in which Frank character played by Jason Statham broke his own rule. He established clearly one rule to never look inside the package handed to him for delivery, however he broke his own rule. Question: Does America breaks it own rule by mercilessly violating the 14th Amendment????
This is POWERFUL! thank you will smith and netflix --I use this to teach in Shenzhen, china! gratitude
Great to see you acting up Will! Amazing initiative to educate the peers of our own history! Keep up the good work! 🐝💝
This is priceless
Now this is what our children should be learning about in school. The real truth about our American history.
Frederick Douglass. That’s one powerful guy.
Netflix with gratitude heart, I thank you for bringing this undeniably important Information for all of us to understand the evils that we, humans can exert on fellow human beings!!! 😡😢😭
First off, they omit proper perspective when omitting facts such as "slavery" was common practice worldwide and the USA was one of the very few nations actually attempting to eliminate slavery. That every race on earth was subject to slavery and in various countries kept in slavery.
Last, read the 13th Amendment that freed the slaves. It does NOT prohibit slavery. Every prisoner, guilty or innocent, become a slave of the government.
If someone has to tell you that you have rights, that's called "privileges".
at 1:39 , There such a great chill that flows through me whenever I see it
Glad is on CZcams 🙌💯
Knowing the true history gives you purpose but most importantly a reason why America has to be Great. Lessons learned and earned should be taught to the World. Mankind across the planet are dealing with similar issues but in different forms and shapes. If Mankind is to succeed far into the future then proven earned solutions are needed. Just looking at this first episode it has constructive intentions and hopefully will do some good for all Americans as we live together and succeed together.
Dear 2040 , I was here 19 years ago
Want to see episodes about the Western frontier! Love to see how we forged what we have today.
How great this country could had been, if we were all treated the same.
very informative.... Thanks Netflix and Wil Smith.

Me (quietly in class): *toxic...*
Only Will Smith can make history fresh., after all he is the prince.
Watching it now.
When do get past slavery? When do we start admitting our shortcomings?
We’re not going to get past it. Although we’re not in the fields in the plantation it has talking different forms. They’re going still hunting us, still oppressing us when they stop and level the playing field we will get past it. Hell you mean.
God bless you Netflix! And this comes in a great moment. Hello Madame Vice President...What am I doing here, I'm not even American.
Shut up
@@prankoverlord3520 Good day to you too.
How great is it that I came across this on Martin Luther King Day❤
wtF netflix just post a series on CZcams 🙃
My ancestors, so strong. I wish I had their intelligence, strength, determination. They overcame so much through a horrendous struggle and still became successful.
citizenship is the right to have rights, you have the right to pariticipate, the right to vote, you have the right to be able to call on the government and also get the protections against the government.
Thank you Will Smith and EVERYONE ELSE involved in this production
Netflix has redeemed itself with this
‘If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged’. Noam Chomsky
Exactly. So would have the presidents who enslaved people and did horrible things such as genocides and so would have almost all enslavers such as Arron Anthony Frederick Douglass’s first enslaver and who was alleged to be Fredericks biological father. In that case all of those horrible people would be brought to justice for their crimes. The only presidents who would probably get off easy or not be punished as harshly might be George Washington and Ulysses S Grant due to them ultimately having seen the error of their ways on slavery and doing the right thing by freeing those that they had enslaved.
....what's the title of the track played when the credits roll?
African Americans fighting for the rights gave others more rights.
We owe so much of our culture , science, and technology to the strength of this nation from all peoples, especially the largest of the minorities. Thanks a lot to all decent people.
I'm only here for comments because watching historic docs like this one revolutionilises
My first few words on Will Smith questions: political messiness; first-class innovative country with third-class Healthcare systems, America's many wars and so many military stationed around the world, too many racists issue, not that great educational system, always think they are better than anybody else.
That’s great
Another free Netflix documentary 👍🙏
Well done Will Smith ,Showing Aborigines Excellent.
Does anyone know the name of the beautiful song that plays during the end credits?
And here we are.
Over a hundred years later and half the nation can still find excuses for over 60 bullets into the body of a young black man at a traffic stop.
Why can't my people take a hint?😢
Can we get episodes of Shadowhunters
Pls
If it is there pl give the link
Holy moly! This is fu...ing a goooood sh..t... Best movie, bests actors, and for free!
Some heavy hitting scholars as well
I need to read more books
Powerful and sad. Thanks Netflix
