“Do the Right Thing” 31 Years Later, Still Merits Attention Today: SJCA Hosts Zoom Discussion Oct. 25

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Jewish Community Arts and Temple Sinai presents a Zoom discussion of the classic film “Do the Right Thing,” at 7 p.m. on Oct. 25.

Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing,” was first released 31 years ago - a prophetic and controversial film that merits attention today, not just for its historic significance, but because it is still fresh and relevant and so clearly foretold the future of interracial relationships in America, said Phyllis Wang, coordinator of SJCA. 

The film’s story unfolds over one scorching summer day in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. The filmmaker shows the ugly prejudice that infects everyone and explores how racial inequality drives conflict.
