About the event
Do the Right Thing is considered a classic because it masterfully blends art and activism, addressing complex social issues like racism, police brutality, and community tensions in a way that feels both timeless and relevant. Spike Lee's bold direction, memorable performances (especially from Lee himself and Danny Aiello), vibrant cinematography, and a gripping narrative structure create a powerful film that forces viewers to reflect on moral ambiguity and the consequences of inaction. Its raw portrayal of racial conflicts and the question of what constitutes "doing the right thing" continues to resonate across generations, making it a landmark in American cinema.
