Film: The Birth of a Movement

(USA, 2017, 54 min. color and b&w, NR)

In 1915, Boston-based African American newspaper editor and activist William M. Trotter waged a battle against D.W. Griffith’s technically groundbreaking but notoriously Ku Klux Klan-friendly THE BIRTH OF A NATION, that still rages today about race relations, media representation, and the power and influence of Hollywood.
