The Birth of a Nation

In this provocatively named and extraordinarily powerful historical drama, we’re thrust into the slave rebellion in the southern US led by the preacher Nat Turner (writer-director Nate Parker) in 1831. Scarred by the vicious treatment accorded his fellow slaves, the pacifistic preacher decides to organize the bloody uprising that reverberates in the American psyche to this day. “A biographical drama steeped equally in grace and horror, it builds to a brutal finale that will stir deep emotion…”—Variety
