1916 D.W. Griffith epic. A poor young woman is separated from her baby and husband by prejudice. Her story is interwoven with three other stories of intolerance - one in ancient Babylon, one in Judea, where the hypocritical Pharisees condemn Jesus Christ and one in 1572 Paris where a young couple prepare for marriage on the day of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. two young Huguenots prepare for marriage.

Intolerance is a 1916 American silent film directed by D. W. Griffith and is considered one of the great masterpieces of the Silent Era.  The three-and-a-half hour epic intercuts four parallel storylines each separated by several centuries:   A contemporary melodrama of crime and redemption;  a Judean story: Christ’s mission and death;  a French story: the events surrounding the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre of 1572; and (4) a Babylonian story: the fall of the Babylonian Empire to Persia in 539 BC. 

Intolerance was made partly in response to criticism of Griffith's previous film, The Birth of a Nation (1915),[3] which was attacked by the NAACP and other groups as perpetuating racial stereotypes and glorifying the Ku Klux Klan.  (Wikipedia)

Somehow YouTube has labeled someone else's more recent upload of this public domain film as "official" simply because it has ads in it.

Pretty much owning the title Best Movie Ever Made, this three hour epic silent drama with racist overtones is easily among the most influential films ever, and one of the very first feature length American films ever, and the original blockbuster.

D. W. Griffith later attempted to redeem himself from the racism alligations by making Intolerance (1916), and as soon as I find a copy of that with public domain music, I will upload that too.
