8 feb 1915 anni - "Birth of a Nation" Released

Descrizione:

"Birth of a Nation," a film directed by D.W. Griffith and released in 1915, was a silent movie that portrayed the period of Reconstruction in a highly controversial and racially inflammatory manner, glorifying the Ku Klux Klan and depicting African Americans in deeply offensive stereotypes. Despite its technical and narrative innovations in filmmaking, the movie's overtly racist content sparked widespread protests and riots, yet it also significantly influenced the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan during the early 20th century.
