Nate Parker, director of the film The Birth of a Nation, says he does not feel guilty about a rape allegation levied against him in 1999, in a taped interview with 60 Minutes to air on Sunday.
Parker was acquitted of the charge of raping an unconscious woman, and Celestin’s conviction was later overturned.
In a clip from the episode released by CBS on Thursday, interviewer Anderson Cooper asks Parker if he feels guilty about anything that happened that night. “I don’t feel guilty,” Parker responds.
