Did Ted Kotcheff and D. W. Griffith share the same nationality?
D. W. Griffith David Wark Griffith (January 22, 1875 – July 23, 1948) was an American director, writer, and producer who pioneered modern filmmaking techniques.
David Koff David Richard Koff (September 24, 1939 – March 6, 2014) was an award-winning maker of documentary films, social activist, writer, researcher, and editor. His interest in social and economic justice has shaped a career largely spent exploring human rights, colonialism, resistance movements, racism, labor unions, and the oppression and exploitation of undocumented workers in America. However, he veered from political concerns long enough to write and co-produce the film, "People of the Wind" for which, in 1976, he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary.
