100 Years of Movies: “Do the Right Thing”

Tensions are high and rise with the heat in this critically acclaimed Brooklyn story from director Spike Lee. Mookie (Lee) navigates the hottest day of the year in the neighborhood of Bed-Stuy, mitigating family matters, race relations, work, police, and more. (Rated R, 2h.)

Following last year’s success, the Mahaiwe will continue its “100 Years of Movies” series with film director and educator Deborah Reinisch. Reinisch will introduce each film with a brief lecture at the top of the screening.
