The Birth of a Nation (movie, 1915)

The Birth of a Nation

Watched 2024.

This film is recognized as a great film that argues for evil. In the end, fabricated events glorify the KKK and white supremacy. In some ways, the mistreatment of blacks is accurate, but it is justified through fabricated scenes with fabricated crimes by blacks. It is unclear why DW Griffith would bend history that much except to achieve some racist objective.
