Spike Lee's new short film splices clips from his 1989 film, 'Do the Right Thing,' with footage of the police killings of Eric Garner and George Floyd.
"People are asking the same questions: Why are people rioting? Why are people doing this, doing that? Because people are fed up and people are tired of the debasing. The killing of black lives -- that's what this country is built upon," he explained."The foundation of the United States of America is built upon the stealing of the land from the Native people and genocide, coupled with slavery.
"The attack on black bodies has been here from the get-go," says filmmaker Spike Lee, responding to protests over George Floyd's death. "...I am not condoning all this other stuff but I understand why people are doing what they are doing."
