The upcoming film 'Birth of a Nation' at one time had an excited following behind it, eager for it's release. That was until the news dropped that the director Nate Parker had previously been involved in a rape trial in his past. Parker was acquitted but fans did not feel right about continuing to support the film. However, actress Gabrielle Union who is in 'Birth of a Nation' has taken it upon herself to promote the film once again, in hopes of turning the idea of seeing the film back into a positive, learning experience.
