"Huh, sorry. Come on. America would never elect somebody like David Duke, President of the United States of America." - Ron Stallworth

Why watch this? Washington and Driver shine in this movie about infiltrating the Klan.

Plot Summary: This is the true story of Ron Stallworth, an African-American detective who infiltrates the Ku Klux Klan in the 1970s. He enlists the help of a fellow officer, Flip Zimmerman, to pose as him in person, while Stallworth communicates with Klan members over the phone. Together, these two detectives work to expose the organization and thwart their plans.

Dad's Preview: Set in the early '70's, this Spike Lee film adaptation of a true story hits a lot of notes about race in this country. This biting, racially-charged film makes lots of points that are incredibly pertinent to our political climate today, and I'm sure that was the point. The film is thought-provoking, and exposes some deep issues that still require resolution.
