BlacKkKlansman (15)
Spike Lee makes a triumphant return to form with this furious and often funny true-life tale of a black cop who infiltrates the Ku Klux Klan. Ron Stallworth was the real-life black detective who went undercover in the late 70s to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. Though he communicates with members on the phone he sends his white, Jewish partner to 'stand in' for him at meetings and rallies. Lee clearly sees in Stallworth's story a way to take a temperature read on Trump's America and has made a film that is impossible to ignore.
