The Cry of the Children

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

The Cry of the Children is a 1912 American silent short drama film directed by George Nichols for the Thanhouser Company. The production, based on the poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning about child labor, stars Marie Eline, Ethel Wright, and James Cruze. At the time of its release, the film proved to be controversial for its use of real-life footage of children working inside a large textile factory. In 2011, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The film incorporates original lines from the Browning's poem in the film's intertitles, presented within quotation marks without a discernible speaker.
