Birth of a Nation, The
horizontal line

A powerful, gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, thought-provoking, factually based, well-acted, star-studded (Gabrielle Union, Penelope Ann Miller, and Jackie Earle Haley), 2-hour remake of the 1915 classic silent film that follows an African-American slave (Tony Espinosa) from 1809 as he grows up in the cotton fields of Virginia, becomes a literate preacher (Nat Parker) and marries a beautiful house slave (Aja Naomi King), and eventually leads a slave (Colman Domingo, Dwight Henry, et al.) revolt against their cruel, sadistic masters (Armie Hammer, et al.) in which more than 60 white people were killed and many more slaves murdered in retaliation.
