Red Hook Summer

A boy from Atlanta is sent to spend the summer with his grandfather, a fiery preacher in Brooklyn's Red Hook projects. Clarke Peters plays the bishop, and the film moves through sermons, heat and a neighbourhood changing around its residents.

Spike Lee calls it a chapter of his 'Chronicles of Brooklyn', and Mookie from Do the Right Thing makes a brief return. Made on a small budget, it takes a turn in its last act that many viewers found shocking, and it's one of Lee's most personal looks at faith and what churches hide.
