that the “world has changed” – a reference to coronavirus, social distancing and the current street protests in favor of #BlackLivesMatter. But Lee went on to suggest that cycles of U.S. police brutality against black people show that history is repeating itself.
“Radio Raheem is a fictional character from my 1989 film ‘Do The Right Thing’,” Lee said, as an introduction to his recent “Will History Stop Repeating Itself?” film. The short video intercuts painful-to-watch, real-life footage of the police handling of, who was killed two weeks ago, and Eric Garner, killed in New York in 2014, along with the fictional Radio Raheem.
The pair also introduced Lee’s latest feature film “Da 5 Bloods,” in which four black War veterans return to Vietnam. “They are going back to find the remains of their squad leader, played by Chadwick Boseman. And the hitch is, his remains is buried among gold,” said Lee.
