Review of The Birth of a Nation (2016) by Corey C — 07 Oct 2016

A beautifully filmed, well-acted, well-told rendition of the legacy of rebel slave Nat Turner. Although episodic at times, and decidedly graphic (though not gratuitous), the film offers a potent, moving, haunting message that's particularly relevant for today's racially charged culture.

We'd be wise to heed the warning of this powerful picture. A major accomplishment for writer-actor-director Nate Parker.
