The Birth of a Nation

  • Post category:.

A fictionalized account of a U.S. slave revolt in 1831, led by the slave and preacher Nat Turner, that veers into dream territory at times, while keeping its focus on the horrors of slavery and the odds against which the slaves fought.  While at times some of the supporting characters appear two-dimensional, this is an important story and one filled with haunting scenes.
