BlacKkKlansman (2018), directed by Spike Lee, is a powerful and provocative film based on the true story of Ron Stallworth, the first African American detective in the Colorado Springs Police Department. Set in the 1970s, the film follows Stallworth, played by John David Washington, as he embarks on an undercover mission to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. Posing as a white supremacist over the phone, Stallworth enlists his Jewish colleague, Flip Zimmerman (played by Adam Driver), to attend in-person meetings with the Klan. Together, they expose the group’s violent plans while highlighting the absurdity and danger of their racist ideology. Blending sharp humor with intense drama, *BlacKkKlansman* tackles themes of racism, identity, and the enduring struggle for civil rights in America.
