Birth of a Nation
Release Date: June 21, 2025
Runtime: 13 min
Birth of a Nation reinterprets D.W. Griffith's notorious 1915 film The Birth of a Nation, a technically groundbreaking but deeply racist work that glorifies white supremacy and the Ku Klux Klan. Stan Douglas focuses on one infamous narrative strand from Griffith’s film involving the character Gus—a Black man played in blackface—who is falsely depicted as a threat to a white woman, Flora. In the original, this leads to her death and Gus's lynching by the Klan.
