The first, or at least the earliest extant, film by an African-American director and very good it is too.

The narrative is fast paced and briskly moves from scene to scene without lingering so long that a modern audience finds it boring as so many silents do.

It’s a fascinating glimpse into a dark time in American history and has some good imagery and intercutting.

The score i saw it with helped a lot too.

I recommend this to anyone interested in film history.

7/10
