S7 E8: The unbearable authenticity of Kojo T Houenou, the francophone Marcus Garvey
Manage episode 312839867 series 3247969
To close this third season, whose frequency of episodes has been somewhat disturbed by the writing of the book on African pioneers, I would like to tell you about an article, that was published in the New York Times in August 1923, which dealt with the movie “ The Birth of a Nation ” by D. W Griffiths released in 1915. A technically groundbreaking film, the first film shot in the White House, but terribly racist, described by some as the most racist film in the history of cinema. Incidentally a great box office success in its time.
Why did France, which was also responsible of inhuman exploitation in its colonies, ban a film that paid tribute to white superiority?
