Robert Lang delves into the history and impact of a film that sparked intense debate and reflection. Released in 1915, this cinematic work has left an indelible mark on American culture, intertwining themes of race and representation. Lang examines the film’s groundbreaking techniques and its role in shaping modern cinema, while also confronting the troubling narratives it propagated.
The exploration takes readers through the film's reception, from its initial acclaim to its eventual condemnation for its portrayal of African Americans and glorification of the Ku Klux Klan. Through this lens, Lang invites a critical dialogue about the intersection of art, politics, and society, urging a deeper understanding of how such works continue to resonate in contemporary discourse.
