Описание: From the beginning, American cinema has been both a powerful mythmaker and a social critic. D.W. Griffiths Birth of a Nation, arguably the first feature film, shows us just how early in its history cinema had established its influence. In 1915 it was the first movie to be screened at the
White House. After the screening, President Woodrow Wilson is rumored to have said, Its like history writ with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all terribly true. Birth of a Nation famously portrayed the Klu Klux Klan in a favorable light, a portrayal that contributed to the modern
resurgence of the group and brought racist depictions of African Americans imported from the minstrel show to the silver screen. Such white fantasies of black American life have played out on our movie screens for the last century. In response, filmmakers of color have created nuanced and indelible
portraits of race, as in Ava DuVernays Selma or Barry Jenkins Moonlight. Spike Lees BlacKkKlansman shows us just how far into our culture Birth of a Nation has reached.

In this powerful new book, Greg Garrett brings his signature brand of theologically motivated cultural criticism to bear on this history. After more than a century of cinema, he argues, movies have altered our cultural perspectives in the same way that religious narratives have. And in fact,
religious traditions offer powerful correctives to our cultural narratives. A Long, Long Way incorporates both cinematic and religious truth-telling to the subject of race and reconciliation. In acknowledging the racist history of Americas national art form, Garrett offers the possibility of hope
for the future.
