Saturday, March 19, 10 AM The hottest day of the year explodes on screen in this vibrant look at a day in the life of the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood in Brooklyn. Produced, written and directed by Spike Lee, this powerful portrait of urban racial tensions sparked controversy but also earned popular and critical praise when it came out in 1989. This film complements Nina Chanel Abney: Royal Flush.
