Powerful

Rating: 9/10 (24 October 2018)

Spike Lee hits a home run with this film. From beginning to end I was not able to take my eyes from the screen. Alec Baldwin starts things off as a red neck lecturing his base with warnings of integration in the USA. A black undercover cop first infiltrates the Black Panthers at a lecture by Stokely Carmichael. He then takes the initiative to contact the KKK by phone, posing as a white man. He uses a fellow officer to meet face to face with the racists. Historical footage, from the high school at Little Rock to scenes from Birth of a Nation are used. The tweeting king president is also a part of the proceedings. Spike has nailed it with Black KKKlansman and it is the best movie of the year.
