The article’s main objective is to verify how elements of intolerance appear in the narrative of the movie The Birth of a Nation , directed by D.W. Griffith. Through film analysis, we also aim to assess how the movie fabricates and reproduces prejudices in a given society. In a larger perspective, we seek to understand the emergence of intolerant and racist movements in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Keywords: Intolerance, myths, movie, The Birth of a Nation
