From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spike Lee is an American filmmaker. His submission for his master's thesis at the New York University Tisch School of the Arts, Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads, about a barbershop owner's conflict with organised crime won a Student Academy Award. His debut feature was the comedy-drama She's Gotta Have It which starred Tracy Camilla Johns as a young independent woman who is simultaneously dating three men. Lee followed this with the musical comedy-drama School Daze which was set in historically black college during a homecoming weekend. His breakthrough film was the 1989 comedy-drama Do the Right Thing about simmering racial tension resulting in violence within a Brooklyn neighbourhood. It received critical acclaim and Lee was nominated for the Academy Award for Original Screenplay. Two years later he directed Jungle Fever which featured Wesley Snipes as a married architect who embarks on an interracial affair with his secretary. Lee followed this with biographical film Malcolm X about the titular civil rights activist played by Denzel Washington.

His 1997 documentary 4 Little Girls about the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing was critically acclaimed and received nominations for a Primetime Emmy and the Academy Award for Best Documentary.

His 2018 crime film BlacKkKlansman based on memoir of Ron Stallworth, an African-American detective who infiltrated a local branch of the Ku Klux Klan. It received six nominations at the Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director. Lee won for Best Adapted Screenplay. Two years he directed war drama Da 5 Bloods.
