Description: One of Griffith's most widely acclaimed films uses a new style of lighting and photography to stress intimate character relationships rather than spectacle. A young Chinaman in London's squalid Limehouse district hopes to spread the peaceful philosophy of his Eastern religion. He befriends a pitiful street waif who is mistreated by her brutal father. Tragedy results.
Notes: Silent with music track and English titles.
