Description
Spike Lee is a film-maker of extraordinary gifts ("Do The Right Thing", "Malcolm X"). He's also an entrepreneur, a provocateur, and a spokesman for the African-American experience. This is the story of Spike Lee's hard-fought rise to the heights of his profession, drawn from exclusive interviews with Lee and his equally outspoken friends, family and colleagues. It also showcases the diverse cultural and political influences, such as rap music, that were his inspiration and which he now inspires in his turn.
Reviews / Votes
