Revisit Spike Lee in Conversation on Free Thinking

Recorded just before the 2019 Academy Awards, Spike Lee is surprised by an early Oscars photo as he talks about black power, black face, prejudice and political rhetoric.

Since 1983, Spike Lee's production company has produced over 35 films. His 1989 film Do The Right Thing was nominated for Best Original Screenplay in the Academy Awards. Best Picture that year went to Driving Miss Daisy. 30 years on Do the Right Thing has been re-released in cinemas in the UK and BlacKkKlansman is now out on DVD. It won Best Adapted Screenplay in the 2019 Academy Awards where Best Picture went to Green Book.
