This is sure to stir up a hornet's nest or two.

ithink this is a good idea, any chance to break down some walls is good. I know it's supposed to be a satire, and largely "what-if". But if this helps the black community get over it and move on and progress, then more power to it.

Ummm.... this isn't a Spike Lee film.

It's written and directed by Kevin Willmott. I think Spike Lee has a small role in the film.

Without seeing the film, the trailer looks like a good piece of satire.

It sounds like it could be a better series than a movie with so much to cover. It's an interesting idea, though.

"Lincoln attempts escape to Canada but is captured in blackface. This moment is captured in the clip of a silent film that might have been. "

sounds hilarious, hope this film gets reasonable distribution.
