Set against the antebellum South| THE BIRTH OF A NATION follows Nat Turner (Nate Parker)| a literate slave and preacher| whose financially strained owner| Samuel
Turner (Armie Hammer)| accepts an offer to use Nat's preaching to subdue unruly slaves. As he witnesses countless atrocities - against himself and his fellow slaves
- Nat orchestrates an uprising in the hopes of leading his people to freedom.
 The Birth of a Nation overpowers its narrative flaws and uneven execution through sheer conviction, rising on Nate Parker's assured direction and the strength of its
vital message.
