Edwin S. Porter’s film acts as a historical artifact that reinforces traditional Western narratives of leadership and martyrdom. By focusing on the iconography of the American presidency, the work centers on white, male institutional figures. The film lacks the narrative complexity needed to address diverse identities, adhering to the conventional social and political hierarchies of the early 1900s. Ultimately, the piece preserves established political legacies through a homogeneous historical lens.

Official Synopsis
This film is difficult to classify. It opens on a scene showing a mourner with bowed head sitting in front of what appears to be a tombstone. Shortly afterwards, the face of Abraham Lincoln and then of two other presidents, Garfield and McKinley, can be seen on the monument and then they disappear. There is a figure huddled at the foot of a statue of Justice, as if asking forgiveness.
