Spike Lee's latest political satire, BlackKklansman arrives on screens this week and is our leading film. Based on the memoir by Ron Stallworth, the first African-American police officer in Colorado, USA, the film follows his infiltration of the Ku Klux Klan and his mission to expose the hate group's violent plans, with the help of a Jewish police officer and an activist college student. Set in the 70s, the film is a slick and outrageous comedy about America's history of racism that also addresses the current political climate.
