"BlacKkKlansman" Film Screening & Discussion

From visionary filmmaker Spike Lee and the award-winning producers of Get Out comes BlacKkKlansman, the incredible true story of an unexpected hero and another provocative exploration of race relations in America. It’s the early 1970s, and Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) is the first African-American detective to serve in the Colorado Springs Police Department. Determined to make a name for himself, Stallworth bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan. The young detective soon recruits a more seasonedJewish-American colleague, Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver), into the undercover investigation of a lifetime. Together, they team up to take down the extremist hate group as the organization aims to sanitize its violent rhetoric to appeal to the mainstream.
