He transformed a nickelodeon novelty into a new art form and a
powerful, glamorous American industry. He codified the rules and
techniques of screen story-telling, and pioneered the conventions
that brought films to life, from surging spectacle to soul-baring
close-ups. A poor farm boy from the South, Griffith rose to fame
with The Birth of a Nation, a cinematic masterpiece stained by the
racism that infected his heritage. Though he went on to direct some
of the most legendary films of the silent era, Griffith was doomed
by his over-reaching drives, and he died an embittered man, shunned
by the community he had largely created. His story is told here
with unsparing truth and compelling narrative sweep.
