Celebrating its 25th anniversary this summer, Spike Lee‘s Do the Right Thing is still as relevant as ever. Set in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, the drama follows a group of unforgettable characters on the hottest day of the summer. To celebrate the anniversary, Lee has not only reunited with the cast, but has taken a stroll down Stuyvesant Avenue to reminisce about the on-location shoot.
Featuring Lee, actor Danny Aiello and production designer Wynn Thomas, as well as interviews with a number of others involved with the production, the 23-minute documentary — produced by Beats Music — is a fascinating watch. The first part features chats with resident as well as they discuss the impact of the film on the community before segueing to a block party held by the director in June and attended by Erykah Badu, Dave Chappelle, Mos Def, Wesley Snipes, Public Enemy, and more.
