Who they are

Born: 22 January 1875, LaGrange, Kentucky, USA
Died: 23 July 1948
Known for: The Birth of a Nation, Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages, Broken Blossoms or The Yellow Man and the Girl

D.W. Griffith (1875–1948) was an American director who helped shape early film language. His techniques in The Birth of a Nation and Intolerance advanced editing and narrative, and helped establish the feature-length film. The first remains deeply controversial for its racist portrayal of Black Americans and its glorification of the Ku Klux Klan.
