[I]t’s admirably difficult, raising thorny questions about ends and means, justice and mercy, and the legacy of racism that lies at the root of our national identity.
New York Times
Actor-turned-director Nate Parker has delivered a rabble-rousing classic of the genre.

There's a sense of rightful restoration and acknowledgment here, a more realistic notion of The Birth of a Nation.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION is at its freshest and subtlest observing the social dynamics of the pre-war South...
Boston Globe
Rating: 4/5 --
The Birth of a Nation is brutal and sad and difficult to watch at times. However, it also shines a light on a dark time in our nation's history and on a story that too many of us know precious little about.

Parker's passion for the project keeps the ship upright, even when the film veers towards grandiloquence.

Product Description:
This historical drama recounts a real-life slave revolt that occurred in 1831 Virginia, led by a black preacher named Nat Turner (Nate Parker). Turner is ordered by his master (Armie Hammer) to tour a number of local plantations, delivering sermons to the other slaves that will urge them against violence and any thoughts of rebellion. However, he is so appalled and sickened by the horrors he sees during his travels that he is eventually moved to fight back against the evils of slavery. Aja Naomi King and Gabrielle Union co-star. Parker wrote, directed, and stars in THE BIRTH OF A NATION, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.
