The excerpt from the DVD shows the DVD contains the following photo:
As Snopes explains at length, the photo of Margaret Sanger delivering a "burning speech" while "local KKK girls hang on every word" is a fabrication. The fabricated photo was created by photoshopping Sanger onto the following photo:

The Snopes article goes on to explain that Sanger admitted she did speak before a KKK women's group:

There is little question that Sanger supported the eugenics movement, but one statement really stuck out. Sanger was “an active participant in the Ku Klux Klan.”
It turns out, Sanger did speak to a group connected to the KKK and wrote about it openly. In Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, published in 1938, Sanger details her work advocating birth control across the United States and emphasizes her willingness to talk to virtually anyone.
“Always to me any aroused group was a good group,” Sanger writes, “and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey, one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing.”

While Sanger did speak to such an audience in 1926, “she didn’t hold the group in the highest esteem."
Snopes concludes:
* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *
In short, Sanger once addressed female KKK members in a bid to have her message heard as widely as possible, but she both openly described that meeting and disparaged the group’s mission in her writings,
and a photograph supposedly depicting that talk (or a similar one) is fabricated.
