“People are fed up and people are tired of the debasing, the killing of black bodies.' Spike Lee shared a short film that blends a scene from 'Do the Right Thing' with footage of the killings of George Floyd and Eric Garner
In an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon where he first introduced the short, Lee said: “What we’re seeing today is not new. We’ve seen this again and again and again, and people are asking the same questions: ‘Why are people rioting? Why are people doing this?’ Because people are fed up and people are tired of the debasing, the killing of black bodies. That’s what this country is built upon.”
"The attack on black bodies has been here from the get-go," says filmmaker Spike Lee, responding to protests over George Floyd's death. "…I am not condoning all this other stuff but I understand why people are doing what they are doing."
