A film produced in 1935 by African-American director Oscar Micheaux. This film was lost until rediscovered by researchers at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. It is loosely based on the events around the 1913 murder of 13-year-old girl Mary Phagan and the conviction of her boss, Leo Frank. It stands as one of the earliest surviving examples of Black-directed cinema. The work is now in the public domain.
