The Birth
of a Nation
(DVD)
In this classic silent film, director D.W. Griffith recreates
the human tragedy of the War Between the States and Reconstruction
in South Carolina after the downfall of the Southern Confederacy.
Filmed just fifty years after the end of the war, this epic
motion picture takes a controversial look at the birth of
Abraham Lincoln’s “new nation” out of the ashes of the constitutional
Republic. This special edition features a seven-minute interview
with the director and music from the so-called “Civil War”
period. Starring Lillian Gish, Mae Marsh, Henry B. Walthall,
Miriam Cooper, and Mary Alden. Also included are three additional
silent shorts by Griffith: The Trust, The Trust Fulfilled,
and The Battle.
