Love it or hate it, maybe both.

Rating: Null/10 (2 March 2001)

The problem about this film is that both sides are right.
Yes, it is a historical treasure because it is one of the first long-form motion pictures, and the prototype of the epic format that so many films later incorporated.
Yes, it is a piece of unmitigated racism, that glorifies the KKK and depicts blacks as sub-human beasts.
Watch it for it's historical value, and be appalled by it's racist content.
