Headstrong Southern belle Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh) navigates romance with honourable Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard) and devilish Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) during the turmoil of the American Civil War.
Winner of 8 Academy Awards on its release in 1939, Gone with the Wind became a touchstone of debate during the peak of the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. In response to criticism that the film romanticised slavery, HBO temporarily pulled it from its streaming service.
‘There is value in people seeing just how overtly racist Hollywood was at one time so as to understand what that means both then and now.’ – The Guardian
