There's a chunk of this film missing, centered

There's a chunk of this film missing, centered around a scene of Klansmen getting beat down by a brick-wielding "negro". Going to venture a guess it was Abraham. Might've added half a star for that scene alone. The Max Roach soundtrack is a nice touch to this otherwise silent film.

The soundtrack by Max Roach is surprisingly expressive

The soundtrack by Max Roach is surprisingly expressive. I'm blown away by his ability to keep me involved in the film with only his drum set. It maybe shouldn't work, but it does, beautifully. (The movie is good too.)

A black man inherits some land that unbeknownst

A black man inherits some land that unbeknownst to him has valuable oil deposits. A half-black/half-white man who passes for white and despises black people teams up with racists to intimidate him into selling his land. Like many of Oscar Micheaux's silent films, there's not a very clear narrative flow to it, but it contains rich and powerful imagery.
