Show Notes:
1. I did not watch the 1915 Birth of a Nation to research this episode. Maybe Papo is lying or misremembering his scenes in the movie. I have watched the 2016 Birth of a Nation. They changed a few key details in that remake. 

2. Lillian Gish, Henry B. Walthall, Elmer Clifton, Spottiswoode Aitken and Elmo Lincoln appeared in Birth of a Nation and some other D.W. Griffith films. “Papo Threadgill” is a fictional character who claims to have appeared in Birth of a Nation.

3. There’s a great film podcast you should check out called You Must Remember This. http://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/
