Director Spike Lee did what he does best and created a short film right after the killing of George Floyd.
The project, called “3 Brothers — Radio Raheem, Eric Garner, and George Floyd,” was posted on his Twitter and Instagram accounts and connects the death of Floyd, Eric Garner, and Radio Raheem, the character in Lee’s 1989 film “Do the Right Thing.”
Because I’m looking at the faces and I see our white brothers and sisters joined with their black and brown sisters, arm in arm, step by step, in there… I haven’t seen this since I was 10 or 11, during the ’60s… the Vietnam War, black power movement, women’s movement… This is the next version of that.”
Lee also discussed his Vietnam War movie “Da 5 Bloods,” starring Chadwick Boseman and Delroy Lindo.
“The Vietnam War was the first war that was televised into homes… Me and my late brother Chris, we loved World War II films.
