The Life of Christ

It was the first time African Americans were cast into films, entirely in a film. She did the first all African American film. No one had done that to that point. They had the first ever pan shot, didn't they? Really? So she kind of panned across these 300 people. People must have freaked out. The urban legend is that people ran to the back of the room because they were so perturbed at the train coming towards them. And there aren't actually contemporary sources for this story. But I think I buy it, actually.
