Oscar Micheaux’s landmark debut is no mere curio of cinema history. The oldest surviving feature film by a Black director jumps back and forth over the Mason-Dixon line as our heroine (Evelyn Preer) works to uplift the race and faces love and family troubles of her own. Micheaux captures many startling moments of century-old humanity and deft filmmaking. – Lee Gardner
