One of the most financially successful films of all time and considered a landmark by film historians, it has attracted much controversy for its degrading portrayals of African Americans, its glorification of the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Ku Klux Klan">Ku Klux Klan</a>, and support for the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Confederate_States_of_America?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Confederate States of America">Confederacy</a>. The film led to riots in several major cities all over the United States and the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/NAACP?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="NAACP">NAACP</a> attempted to have it banned. Griffith made his next film <i><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Intolerance_(film)?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Intolerance (film)">Intolerance</a></i> (1916) as an answer to critics, who he felt unfairly maligned his work.</p> <p>Together with <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Charlie_Chaplin?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Charlie Chaplin">Charlie Chaplin</a>, <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Mary_Pickford?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Mary Pickford">Mary Pickford</a>, and <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Douglas_Fairbanks?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Douglas Fairbanks">Douglas Fairbanks</a>, Griffith founded the studio <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/United_Artists?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="United Artists">United Artists</a> in 1919 with the goal of enabling actors and directors to make films on their own terms, as opposed to the terms of commercial studios. Several of Griffith's later films were successful, including <i><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Broken_Blossoms?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Broken Blossoms">Broken Blossoms</a></i> (1919), <i><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Way_Down_East?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Way Down East">Way Down East</a></i> (1920), and <i><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Orphans_of_the_Storm?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Orphans of the Storm">Orphans of the Storm</a></i> (1921), but the high costs he incurred for production and promotion often led to commercial failure. He had made roughly 500 films by the time of <i><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/The_Struggle_(1931_film)?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="The Struggle (1931
