Within Our Gates

This piece of African-American filmmaking was made in 1920 and has thankfully survived until today. It tells the story – told by director Oscar Micheaux – of a teacher from the Deep South who takes a fundraising trip to Boston, where she falls in love with a man named Dr Vivian. Through its narrative it explores systemic racism in the US at that time.
