Now equipped with a release date and trailer, Nate Parker has debuted a new poster for his historical drama The Birth of a Nation – and it’s as affecting as you’d expect.
The Birth of a Nation will arrive in UK cinemas on 20 January; the film also stars Armie Hammer, Penelope Ann Miller, Aja Naomi King and Gabrielle Union.
Debuting on Tidal, the powerful poster shows Parker being hung by a noose made out of an American flag.
The film will be a stark contrast to D.W. Griffith’s 1915 film of the same name which many attribute with sparking a second wave of the white supremacy movement.
