  • "A documentary recounting the history of the independent film industry that produced nearly 500 movies for African-American audiences between 1910 and the 1940s. The success of Birth of a nation in 1915 helped inspire the formation of more than 30 "race" movie companies that sought to counteract the loathsome stereotypes shown in that film. By the 1920s, these companies were producing films that gave a more dignified view of African-American life. This video is centered around the career of Oscar Micheaux, the foremost of these early filmmakers."
