Parkers film is an antidote to Griffiths.
It took him seven years to make.
His fire and anger lead him to mount a violent rebellion against the white slave owners in his county.
And apparently not just for the characters on screen.
Several dozen members of the Sundance audience applauded and cheered during the films explosion of violent retribution.
It doesnt take a genius to figure out why that may be.
Parker acknowledged as much when he stepped on stage to a standing ovation after his film ended.
Parker replied that he made the movie for one reason: to create change agents.
Not just in regard to race, but gender, sexuality, any form of injustice.
As of right now,The Birth of a Nationdoesnt yet have a distributor.
