Nate Parker’s THE BIRTH OF A NATION tells of the violent slave rebellion led by Nat Turner in 1831.
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. So, on August 1831, he leads a violent rebellion to free himself and other slaves in Southampton County, Va.
