Features a graphic lynching scene which was very upsetting to many viewers, and to African Americans especially. There were some, however, who felt it a bold statement against race crimes which were still being committed in some parts of the United States.
This obscure film was thought to be lost for many years until a complete print was found in mid-2012 and was screened at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, California, on October 10, 2012.
Almost no production stills survive from this film. When the American Cinematheque added the film to their October, 2012, list of screenings, they could find only one behind-the-scenes photograph to use as an illustration for their brochure.
