September 8: BlackkKlansman
(Drama, USA, 135 min., 2018, rated R). From visionary filmmaker Spike Lee comes the incredible true 1970’s story of Ron Stallworth, 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 seasoned colleague, Flip Zimmerman, 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. Oscar winner for Best Adapted Screenplay.
*NOTE: The starred films will be screened with English subtitles.
