Why even name it that ?

Why even name it that ?

I ain't American but I am guessing the gripe is that its the same name given to the 1915 film about klansmen?

^I imagine the rationale is the same as why blax use of the n word (as a term of endearment)

Fox Searchlight have put in a SERIOUS bid to distribute it at Sundance:

Sundance 2016: Fox Searchlight Making Big Offer for 'Birth of a Nation'

A pretty crazy number. I was at the 'Top Five' screening in Toronto where Paramount put $12 mil up and I think it might have been the biggest deal brokered there at the time.

Fox, though
