Story Line: NOT A SLAVE is based on a true story of how a 20th-century African Prince resorts to slavery in order to cultivate his plantation for profit. The slaves suffer cruel handling by the overseer’s hand, whose own destiny rests on the survival of his Prince’s long-awaited newborn heir. Even before controversial director Nate Parker debuted his Nat Turner movie, The Birth of a Nation, black voices emanated from Black Twitter and other social media to bemoan “not another slavery movie.” This sentiment seems to convey a need for black moviegoers to avoid intergenerational wounds from which we have yet to heal. Such failure to heal has to do with this nation’s willful national amnesia that seeks to rewrite a 300-year-old history of enslavement and dehumanization as a necessary evil or, worse, as institutionalized justification for racism. White supremacy is the alibi for American democracy. It excuses the evils of slavery. No wonder, then, that everyone – both black and white – cannot bear witness (even through fiction or the movies) to an era that exposes the lies of democracy. Perhaps this lens of “another slavery movie” can help us make sense of our present; such is Nate Parker’s The Birth of a Nation. The film explicitly opens with a fabled scene of young Nat Turner’s father out in the night in search of food for his hungry son when he is suddenly halted by a group of slave patrollers. Their condescending tones, their quickness to draw the gun and kill any black man who dares to challenge their authority, are far too reminiscent of the present. Nat Turner’s father could easily be a nineteenth-century Alton Sterling, Philando Castille, Kevin Scott, or Michael Brown. But here, Parker flips the script. Here, Nat’s father escapes and manages to even kill one of his oppressors. Despite its invocation of the present through history, Parker’s film failed to attract an audience, even though other “slavery movies” – Quentin Tarantion’s Django Unchained (2012), Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave (2013), and Amma Asante’s Belle (2014) – drew considerable box office and fans. It would be easy to say, as some on social media have, that Parker’s controversial past in which he was on trial for the gang rape of a co-ed while he was in college – combined with his lack of remorse for the alleged victim who eventually committed suicide – soured the potential enthusiasm for this film.
