BlacKkKlansman

United States, 2018 / 128 Mins

Director: Spike Lee

Starring: John David Washington, Adam Driver

It’s the early 1970’s, a time of great social upheaval as the struggle for civil rights rages on. Ron Stallworth becomes the first African –American detective on the Colorado Springs Police Department, but his arrival is greeted with scepticism and open hostility by the department’s rank and file. Undaunted, Stallworth resolves to make a name for himself and a difference in his community. He bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan.

Posing as a racist extremist, Stallworth contacts the group and soon finds himself invited into its inner circle. He even cultivates a relationship with the Klan’s Grand Wizard, David Duke, who praises Ron’s commitment to the advancement of White America. With the undercover investigation growing ever more complex, Stallworth’s colleague, Flip Zimmerman poses as Ron in face-to-face meetings.
