D. W. Griffith's Film, The Birth of a Nation: The Film that Transformed America

Michael R. Hurwitz is a film historian, lecturer, documentary filmmaker, and now author. History comes to life in his writings, as he takes us back in time. Looking through his eyes, his subject becomes our reality. Whether academic or reflective, his writings provide a time capsule for the reader. Never has history been so pertinent nor accessible. "As we stand on the precipice of change, we must look back before we can look forward." says Hurwitz.
