I think the title of the "response" film was Birth of a Race. If my recollection of the history of that film is correct it started out as a film history of blacks in America, but eventually became a film about the "race" of people known as Americans. They film makers had a great deal of trouble raising the money for the production (which might explain the shift in the film's meanining).
