1930 Prelude to "The Birth of a Nation"

The prelude to our picture is the record of an intimate conversation between Mr. D. W. Griffith and his friend Mr. Walter Huston, which occured on an evening in the Spring of 1930. Here for the first time, Mr. Griffith relates the colorful childhood experiences which led him to the making of "The Birth of a Nation."
