Parker attends 'Birth of a Nation' Toronto premiere amid controversy

Video cameras were barred from the red carpet premiere of "The Birth of a Nation" at the Toronto Film Festival, where the movie's star and filmmaker Nate Parker smiled and greeted fans, despite recent headlines on his involvement in an old rape case. Dressed in a black suit, Parker hopped out of a black car on to the small red carpet outside a downtown Toronto movie theater, where about five or six photographers had queued to snap the cast. Friday's premiere is Parker's first public event since it emerged last month that the accuser in his 1999 rape trial and acquittal committed suicide in 2012.
