Film has been the most influential medium in the presentation of the history of slavery to the general public. The American film industry has had a complex relationship with slavery, and until recent decades often avoided the topic. Films such as The Birth of a Nation (1915) and Gone with the Wind (1939) became controversial because they gave a favorable depiction. In 1940, The Santa Fe Trail gave a strong condemnation of abolitionist John Brown's attacks on slavery. The American civil rights movement in the 1950s made defiant slaves into heroes.

  • La première évocation de l'esclavage au cinéma remonte à 1903 avec La Case de l'oncle Tom, d'Edwin S. Porter, qui donne la figure de l'esclave sympathique et dévoué à son maître. Premier grand succès du cinéma, Naissance d'une nation, de D.W. Griffith fige en 1915 l'imagerie raciste du Noir servile et en préfigure la vision nostalgique donnée dans Autant en emporte le vent, de Victor Fleming (1939). En 2016 sort le film The Birth of a Nation, du réalisateur afro-américain Nate Parker. (fr)
