On a sweltering day in Brooklyn, simmering racial tensions between residents rise to the surface and ignite rage, violence, and tragedy.  Spike Lee received an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay.

Do The Right Thing may not be everyone’s cup of tea with humor, but Lee has masterfully created a captivating film which accurately depicts the lives of a community that has the world pressed up against them.
