El nuevo filme del director Nate Parker, THE BIRTH OF A NATION, dijo presente en el importante evento de cine, Toronto International Film Festival y aquí tenemos fotos para comprobarlo. A la actividad asistió gran parte del elenco, entre ellos Aja Naomi King, Armie Hammer, Gabrielle Union, Aunjanue Ellis, Colman Domingo, Mark Boone Junior, Penelope Ann Miller, Jackie Earle Haley y el antes mencionado escritor, director y actor, Nate Parker.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION cuenta la historia de un esclavo alfabetizado y pastor, cuyo dueño, Samuel Turner, acepta una oferta para utilizar la prédica de Nat con el propósito de someter a esclavos rebeldes. A medida que crece, Nat adquiere popularidad y recibe el sobrenombre de El Profeta gracias a sus visiones. Sin embargo, su verdadera fama se debe a la sangrienta rebelión que inició en 1831 y gracias a la cual ha pasado a la historia como una de las figuras más controvertidas de América anteriores a la Guerra de Secesión.

El filme está programado para estrenar en los cines de Puerto Rico el 10 de noviembre de 2016.
