Intolerance is a 1916 American silent epic drama film directed by D.W. Griffith. The film interweaves four separate storylines, each separated by several centuries and each with its own distinct setting, to convey its central theme of man's inhumanity to man. The first story is set in ancient Babylon and follows a mountain girl who is raped and sold into slavery but eventually escapes to be reunited with her lover. The second story is set during the time of Jesus and follows the religious persecution of a young couple. The third story is set in the 16th century and follows a French couple whose forbidden love leads to a tragic death. The fourth and final story is set in modern times and follows a wealthy family whose daughter is unjustly accused of a crime. The film is notable for its enormous cast and its pioneering use of the "crosscutting" technique, which allowed Griffith to show simultaneous action in different parts of the world in one shot. Intolerance is considered one of the most important films in cinematic history, and is seen as Griffith's attempt to atone for the racism in his earlier films Birth of a Nation and The Clansman.
