She Hate Me

A pharmaceutical executive who blows the whistle on fraud is fired, frozen out and broke, and he starts earning money by fathering children for lesbian women who want them. Anthony Mackie leads a sprawling cast in one of Spike Lee's most provocative films.

The film ties corporate corruption to Watergate and to the history of who gets believed when they speak up. Its sexual politics drew heavy criticism, and it remains divisive. It's also Lee at his most unruly and ambitious, trying to say something about money, power and the body all at once.
