Notable for being the oldest surviving feature by an African-American, Oscar Micheaux. The version I watched was of poor quality and I think it was missing the ending, so it’s tough to say much here.

The first, or at least the earliest extant, film by an African-American director and very good it is too. The narrative is fast paced and briskly moves from scene to scene without lingering so long that a modern audience finds it boring as so many silents do. It’s a fascinating glimpse into a dark time in American history and has some good imagery and intercutting. The score i saw it with helped a lot too. I recommend this to anyone interested in film history. 7/10
