It is intended to inform viewers about the criminalization of African Americans and the United States prison boom. 13th uses rhetorical devices in its claim to persuade the viewers by using exemplum in the opening seconds of the film. President Barack Obama presents statistics, saying “the United States is home to 5% of the world’s population but is home to 25% of the world’s prisoners.” Also the film uses a hyperbole in talking about the movie Birth of a Nation produced in 1915 which portrays a black man as a violent savage who will kill white women.

In the start of the film viewers assume or believe Vivi Walker is an over dramatic high class southern mother. Vivi was high string and acted like a child when it came to fighting with her daughter. Siddalee came off as more of the laid back creative type because she is a play writer. The first phone call viewers see between Vivi and Sidalee is very different from the average phone calls between a mother and daughter because Sidalee is begging her fiancé not to answer the phone because she knew it would be her mother.
