Do the Right Thing (1989)
"In 1989, I had never seen a film that dealt with race relations in such an unapologetic way like Spike Lee did with this film. You can feel his tenacity, love, anger, and message in every frame. This movie was on my mind as inspiration when I was making the 2018 film The Hate U Give."
