Birth of a Nation ft. Keisha Zollar

Black Men Can"t Jump [In Hollywood] ·

2016/11/04

Buckle in, this one's a doozy. Directed, produced, written, and starring Nate Parker, The Birth of a Nation (2016) is a retelling of the controversial historical figure of Nat Turner and his infamous slave rebellion in 1831. However, Nate Parker's own controversy has overshadowed even the film's subject matter and we discuss it all with special guest Keisha Zollar (HBO's Divorce). Get into it.
