New Birth Of A Nation Poster

BirthOfANation2016

This is the latest poster from Nate Parker’s The Birth Of A Nation movie. The image debuted on Tidal yesterday and people are responding to Parker as Nat Turner with a noose around his neck made of an American flag. The response to the film when it hits theaters on October 7th, will be interesting because of all the racial tension in the country right now regarding police brutality.
