BlacKkKlansman

Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman is a gripping blend of crime thriller and biting satire, based on the true story of Ron Stallworth, the first Black detective in Colorado Springs. Set in the 1970s, the film follows Stallworth (played by John David Washington) as he daringly infiltrates the Ku Klux Klan by posing as a white supremacist over the phone. To maintain his cover, he enlists his Jewish colleague, Flip Zimmerman (played by Adam Driver), to attend Klan meetings in person. Together, they expose the group's violent plans and challenge its growing influence.​ The film's closing scenes draw direct parallels to contemporary events, underscoring its urgent relevance. BlacKkKlansman is both an entertaining and thought-provoking examination of America's ongoing struggle with race and identity.​
