BLACKKKLANSMAN (2018)
Starring John David Washington, Adam Driver, Laura Harrier, Topher Grace, Robert John Burke, Corey Hawkins, Paul Walter Hauser, Craig Mums Grant, Michael J. Burg and Jasper Pääkkönen. Directed by Spike Lee.

From visionary director Spike Lee comes the provocative story based on Ron Stallworth’s real life as Colorado Springs’s first African-American police officer who went undercover to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. Unbelievably, Detective Stallworth and his partner Flip Zimmerman penetrate the KKK at its highest levels to thwart its attempt to take over the city. Produced by the team behind the Academy Award-winning 'Get Out', Spike Lee uses his trademark take-no-prisoner style and humour to tell this story often missing from the history books.
