Summary:
This book is about a film-maker who made some of the first and few black casted movies. Spike Lee was a black film-maker, and at the time it wasn't easy being one. He started off making small films, until his first higher budget movie, She's Gotta Have It. This was still a very low budget film in perspective of the multi-million Hollywood productions. He didn't gain much popularity until his first controversial film, Make The Right Choice. After the publicity given to him by this controversial movie he started to slowly take off, getting director deals with Nike and even starting his own record company. His most popular movie was about Malcom X, the militant African-American leader.

Opinion:
This was an interesting book that I was surprised I liked. I hadn't even heard of Spike Lee before reading this book, so it was very interesting to read about him. I think that Spike is someone who just wants to bring his community together, and that, to me, is respectable. With his movies he tried to point out the problems with society. Spike stood his ground in the waves of controversy. I'm glad that this is not really pushing any agenda down your throat. This was a fun read and I'm glad I read it. ( )
