    This movie was truly amazing! Very well done and watching it on a 75 inch screen in blu ray was a definite plus. A must see film!!

    Amazing movie

    This movie tells a part of U.S. history that many are uncomfortable with, slavery. It will no doubt anger you with how African americans were treated by European americans. I won't spoil the story so i will say the acting is great, the directing by Nate Parker is very good and the cinematography & music is great as well. The story of Nat Turner is important and should be seen...

    Sad, but a necessary story to tell

    Birth of a nation is an important part of history that everyone should be aware of. It provides an inside look at the destruction of slavery to all people and how important it is to never go back. The story was very well told in this movie and I would highly recommend it.

    "BIRTH OF A NATION" is such a definitive and distinct must-have for my Black history collection DVDs. Absolutely loved this truth-telling adaptation of real Black-American history! Brutal, but true-to-life history...!!

    A must see.

    This dvd does service to this classic tale of a rebel against the evil system. Extras on the dvd give even greater depth to the stories. Illuminates a story most have never heard and too many are scared to hear.
