A film screening of Spike Lee’s “Do the right thing"

"Do the Right Thing is a 1989 American ensemble film produced,
written, and directed by Spike Lee. The film deals with issues of
racial conflict in the multi-ethnic community of Bedford-Stuyvesant, a
neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, during the hottest day of the
summer. Director Lee also stars in the film, alongside Danny Aiello,
Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Richard Edson, Giancarlo Esposito, Bill Nunn,
and John Turturro. The film is also notable in that it marks the
feature film debuts of both Martin Lawrence and Rosie Perez.

Upon its release, the film received mixed reviews and was met with
much controversy, as many critics felt the film might incite riots
from African-American viewers. Still, the film was a success at the
box office, and received numerous accolades and awards. The film has
grown in stature over time; in 1999, it was deemed "culturally
significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for
preservation in the National Film Registry, one of five films to do so
in its first year of eligibility. In 2007, the American Film Institute
listed the film as the ninety-sixth greatest American Movie in Film
History."

of good films that could be shown are welcome. Looking to recruit
members for group. (Group generally shows films on Sunday evenings and
sometimes helps others to show films at other times during week.)
