Synopsis

Sick of the dumbing down all around him, a black writer at a predominantly white TV station decides to quit. Then he has a better idea: to make a TV programme so culturally insensitive that he'll be fired, with a big payoff. But the plan backfires when his big idea, a minstrel show packed with offensive black stereotypes, becomes a ratings smash. From politically committed filmmaker Spike Lee, a powerful satire that seems designed to provoke audiences.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
