  D.W. Griffith's film The Birth of a Nation has the distinction of being at once one of the most revered and most criticized films in cinema history. The CD-ROM Griffith In Context delivers the film and contextualizing corollary materials in an interactive format that makes the film's cultural and cinematic impact tangible.
