This book is about a film-maker who made some of the first and few black casted movies. Spike Lee was a black film-maker, and at the time it wasn't easy being one. He started off making small films, until his first higher budget movie, She's Gotta Have It. This was still a very low budget film in perspective of the multi-million Hollywood productions. He didn't gain much popularity until his first controversial film, Make The Right Choice. After the publicity given to him by this controversial movie he started to slowly take off, getting director deals with Nike and even starting his own record company. His most popular movie was about Malcom X, the militant African-American leader.
