Overview
- Join Sidewalk Cinema for the Summer of Spike, where we will be showcasing films by filmmaker Spike Lee all summer long! On the hottest day of the year on a street in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, everyone's hate and bigotry smolders and builds until it explodes into violence. Salvatore "Sal" Fragione (Danny Aiello) is the Italian owner of a pizzeria in Brooklyn. A neighborhood local, Buggin' Out (Giancarlo Esposito), becomes upset when he sees that the pizzeria's Wall of Fame exhibits only Italian actors. Buggin' Out believes a pizzeria in a black neighborhood should showcase black actors, but Sal disagrees. The wall becomes a symbol of racism and hate to Buggin' Out and to other people in the neighborhood.
**Please note: We play a minimum number of trailers before films. Movies start a maximum of 10 minutes after the listed showtime. Please arrive early to ensure you are seated for your film to begin.**
