1927 version of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Abolitionist novel disturbed its audience at the time because of its chilling depiction of the horrors of slavery. However, much of the film's treatment of African-American characters reflects the unfortunate attitudes of its time which may offend some. Despite this, director Pollard displays a remarkable sympathy for the inhuman suffering his characters had to endure. (official distributor synopsis)
