Writer/director/star Nate Parker's new film "The Birth of a Nation" focuses on the Nat Turner, the man who led a slave rebellion in 1831. In our interview with him we talk about D.W. Griffith's now-century-old film of the same name, the power of that title, and his efforts to transform something that demonized people of color into something positive and uplifting that better reflects the world of today. He also touches on what it was like to be both behind the camera and in front of it when making his new work.
