"Amend: The Fight for America" is a six-part docuseries that explores the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution -- which promised liberty and equal protection for all persons in 1868 -- as America's most enduring hallmark of democracy.

"Amend" has a groundbreaking narrative format that features luminary performers (including Mahershala Ali, Diane Lane, Samuel L. Jackson, Pedro Pascal and Yara Shahidi) reciting speeches and writings by the Fourteenth Amendment's most ardent protectors (from Frederick Douglass to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg) with insights from an inclusive array of contemporary thought-leaders and experts.

Executive-produced and hosted by Oscar-nominated actor Will Smith, and executive-produced by Emmy-winning writer Larry Wilmore, "Amend" is a powerful, multimedia journey through American history that encourages viewers to question what a "united states" really means.
