After much hype from Sundance, where it won both the Grand Jury and Audience awards, Nate Parker’s “The Birth of a Nation” has finally dropped upon us. How well will the true story of a slave who decides that enough is enough and decides to have a mini uprising, that resulted in the death of many innocent whites play with audiences?

Was all his hustle and hard work worth it?
