DJ SPOOKY that subliminal kid has created an interesting film. It's hip-hop mash up of the original racist (so-called) classic "Birth of a Nation". As a former film student, it's quite interesting to watch this new version. I think it could spark some interesting dialogue in High School media classes.
There is a helpful description of the role of the original Birth of a Nation in film history over here.
You can also download a study guide for "Rebirth" with some background info about the project here.
Where you can find the tools you need for more effective Digital Storytelling projects in your classroom and your community.
