Deets: Book Soup presents acclaimed Oscar nominated filmmaker Spike Lee signing Spike Lee: Do the Right Thing

We are so excited to welcome 2019 Oscar nominee Spike Lee, back to Book Soup to sign copies of the book chronicling his seminal debut, “Do the Right Thing”.  

About Spike Lee: Do the Right Thing
Celebrating 25 years since its seminal debut, "Do The Right Thing" remains one of the most important films of its era. Employing director Spike Lee's hometown of Brooklyn as the essential setting, this explosive film masterfully explores race and class relationships. Both a critical and popular success, "Do The Right Thing" became a landmark film that brought serious issues in the African American community to light and established Lee as a major director in American cinema. Lee also wrote the screenplay, produced, and even starred in this deeply personal film, which was applauded for its commanding visuals provided by Danny Aiello and John Turturro, and an assertive soundtrack featuring Public Enemy's "Fight the Power."
