Summary[edit]

Description
English: American silent drama film Birth of a Nation (1915).
Українська: «Народження нації» — американський німий історичний фільм 1915 року Д. Ґріффіта, в якому зіграли Ліліан Ґіш та Генрі Волтголл. Один із найуспішніших фільмів в історії німого кіно (дохід перевищив витрати майже в сто разів).
Français : Naissance d'une nation (1915), film américain muet du réalisateur D. W. Griffith. Sorti 50 ans après la guerre de Sécession, il raconte le déroulement de ce conflit en privilégiant le point de vue sudiste et révisionniste. Il fut ainsi controversé dès sa sortie pour son discours raciste et son apologie du Ku Klux Klan.
