AIN'T NO BETTA BLUES - THE MOVIE
Where Spike ended up after trying to get studio funding
Spike Lee is starting production on a documentary, "When the Levee Broke," which focuses on the intersection of race and politics in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
I'm glad he is doing this, although I'm not confident about his ability to get the backing and distribution muscle of a major studio. This may be another "Malcolm X," perhaps.
I am anxious of the inevitable backlash or attack on the film. I feel I need to prepare my talking points now. Who wants to co-author "101 Ways Dubya Doesn't Care About Black People" with me?
Regarding the doc's provisional title, I like the Led Zeppelin reference, although I would've preferred "Bush: Not Doing The Right Thing."
