Award Winning Independent Cinema

Spike Lee goes for broke and wins with his best joint in years with this urgent and angry drama, a modern day adaptation of the ancient Greek play Lysistrata by Aristophanes. The girlfriend of a Chicago gang leader persuades other frustrated women to abstain from sex until their men agree to end the senseless cycle of violence after the murder of a child by a stray bullet. A sprawling, blistering and searing social satire on gun violence from one of America’s most important directors.

Dir. Spike Lee, US, 2016, 127 mins.
Cast. Nick Cannon, Teyonah Parris, Angela Bassett, Samuel L. Jackson, John Cusack.
