The Birth of a Nation (1915) - Trivia

  • Director D.W. Griffith visualized the whole film in his mind and did not write out a script or keep written notes.

  • Premiered in Los Angeles with the title "The Clansman", after the novel on which it was based.

  • Some of the black characters are played by white actors with make-up, particularly those characters who were required to come in contact with a white actress. The person playing the Cameron's maid is not only clearly white, but is also obviously male.
