This silent drama was directed by D.W Griffith in 1915. It is a short film in two parts. Part 1 follows two families (the Northern Stoneman's and the Southern Cameron's) and their path through the Civil War and its aftermath. Ben Cameron decides to form a cult (the Ku Klux Klan) to stop the "blacks" from taking over his beloved Southland but when Flora Cameron jumps to her death the "KKK" wages war on the Northerners to restore the peace in his land. In my opinion this is an absolute epic for its time and deserves a personal score of 9/10.
