Director Ava DuVernay on '13th' and survival in the industry

Hosted by

Ava DuVernay's Oscar-nominated documentary 13th traces the history of racism and mass incarceration in America. Because she made the film for Netflix, she had to forego seeing it on the big screen. And she's okay with that. DuVernay tells us why -- following her Oscar nomination for Selma -- she turned down an offer from Marvel to make a doc for Netflix. She also explains how she managed to make 13th while also overseeing Queen Sugar on the Oprah Winfrey Network and directing Disney's big budget A Wrinkle in Time.
