The Birth of a Race
Cinematography
Following the "Birth of the Human Race" section, the film had epic scenes of Ancient Egypt with Nubian soldiers and the rescue of infant Moses in the river. A later scene portrayed Simon of Cyrene helping Jesus carry his cross on the Via Dolorosa and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The film then shifted to World War I, with two white brothers in a German-American family going to war on the Western Front, one fighting for the United States, and the other fighting for Germany.
