Does anyone know the name of a movie has a good 3-4 min scene depicting racism againts african americans?
Do the Right Thing, directed by Spike Lee. I just watched it in film class today, there's a great scene where a white man that owns a pizza place lets these black people in and they are holding a radio that has a song playing on it that he doesn't like and they don't like that all of the "heros" on his wall are white. And there's a picture of a black boxer getting beat up on the wall. And the white guy starts beating the radio and one of the black guy starts strangling him it starts a whole fight. And when the cops come, they purposely kill the black guy when they could've just arrested him. And the other guy that played a little part in it was arrested and the cops were beating him. It shows so much racial tension, GREAT movie, great director. It would be great for a project. Good luck!





A second one would be Hotel Rwanda.
Reply:You could look for a documentary about racism and use some of those scenes. You could look at some of the Spike Lee movies.
