D. W. Griffith's THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915) is the single most important work in the history of world cinema. With it Griffith single-handedly propelled the motion picture from a side show novelty into the greatest art form of all time. Today Griffith is a much maligned man. Much that will be written here probably will not sit well with his detractors. I am not writing for them.
