1001: #3 The Birth Of A Nation (1915) Part 4

The film is horribly racist, and it is a landmark movie, but I am sickened by it as well. I definitely agree with everything you said! I also had a hard time watching this movie. It really is sad that one of the first movies ever was fully based on ignorance and racism.

sorry i have commented so much but when you were talking about the kkk i wondered if this was the reason my jewish ancestor (who played the male servant) was never credited. I can find no other jewish by religion people credited in the film...yet he is in the film more than gus.
