This is the first film ever produced by an African American. Oscar Micheaux's film Within Our Gates is a film about an African American woman who is set up in a compromising situation and out of embarrassment heads south to start a school for African American kids.Running into racism and bigotry she has difficulty getting financial support for her school. [Since I don't expect anyone to watch this one] The woman that set her up eventually admits her plan to split her up from her fiance and they are reunited.
The continuity of the film, and the explanation through subtitles is very bad. It was hard to follow the story because it either wasn't made obvious what was going on, or the subtitles were so spread out that you didn't know what character you were following.
Remembered for being the first African American production, not for being a good film.
