About this movie

From visionary filmmaker Spike Lee comes the incredible true story of an American hero. In the early 1970s, Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) becomes the first African-American detective in the Colorado Springs Police Department. Determined to make a difference, he bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan. He recruits a seasoned colleague, Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver), into the undercover investigation. Together, they team up to take down the extremist organisation aiming to garner mainstream appeal. Produced by the team behind the Academy Award®-winning° Get Out, BlacKkKlansman offers an unflinching, true-life examination of race relations in 1970s America that is just as relevant in today’s tumultuous world.

Ratings and reviews

I wanted to like this film but it was too clear to me the desire of the filmmaker to push their personal beef than allow the story to be simply and well told.

What was in part an amazing and inspirational movie pertaing to fighting racism was marred by modern day political ideology detracting from its own core message unity.

No idea why this movie is marketed as a comedy, it's not hard to get a laugh out of me, but I didn't laugh once......
