Griffith\u003c\/i\u003e, most famous for his controversial film \u003ci\u003eBirth of a Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, was one of the undisputed pioneers of the film industry.

As Barry writes in the book's conclusion, \"the men who make films today know who it was that taught them the basis of their craft. The American public, who for 45 years have so keenly enjoyed and supported the motion picture...are recognizing that in Griffith they have one of the greatest and most original artists of our time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596304236780,"sku":"9780870706837","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/687e23139de97139f0d2b54cbb2a2ea6.jpg?v=1777930400"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/iris-barry.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
