"Birth Of A Nation"
Director: D.W. Griffith
Released: 1915
A feature-length silent movie about the chaos in the South after the Civil War. It depicts the Ku Klux Klan in a good light; some say the film revived the group, which had been dormant until the year of its release. Despite protests, it was a blockbuster for its time and remains admired for its pioneering film techniques.
