DO THE RIGHT THING (1989) – AFI Movie Club

Appearing on the 10th anniversary edition of the American Film Institute’s list of the greatest American films, DO THE RIGHT THING (1989) explores racial tensions exacerbated by the summer heat in a New York neighborhood. An imperative work from iconic director – and AFI Honorary Degree recipient – Spike Lee, the film features cinematography from Ernest R. Dickerson, who recently received his own honorary degree from AFI. Public Enemy’s powerful call to action – “Fight the Power” – was ranked #40 on AFI’s list of the greatest movie songs of all time.
