      Richard Brody New Yorker A deeply personal and analytical study of history. Jun 20, 2020 Full Review Scott Foundas Variety At the same time that he tries to examine all angles, Burnett acknowledges the futility of objectivity in history and art, and he never positions himself outside the material or manipulates viewer sentiments to further his own polemic. Oct 8, 2008 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Ultimately [director] Burnett offers a remarkable gift: an intelligent sense of relativity. As Woodard's narration puts it, 'For a nation unable to come to terms with the legacy of slavery, Nat Turner remains a troublesome property.' Rated: 4/4 Feb 23, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
