For more, go to Amazon and pick up his autobiography, Confessions Of A Comedian.

The very first blockbuster movie in American film history was loaded with technological mastery--and some really cringeworthy racism. Not to mention revisionist Civil War history.

And it's also the first movie ever shown in The White House.

Birth Of A Nation, directed by one of the founders of United Artists--D.W. Griffith, is the story of two families. One from the North. And one from the South.

But it's also chock full of hard-to-watch scenes of racially offensive and inaccurate depictions of the Civil War.  For its time, it was a technological masterpiece of massive scope. Huge battlefield scenes. A plethora of extras. Our guest, Dr. Wes Gehring, will guide us through all the ins and outs of a film that's on one hand historically and technologically significant--and really hard to watch without wanting to wince. Hear all about about it, on this episode of The Tom Gulley Show.
