DO THE RIGHT THING
July 18, 2020  | By David Bianculli

BET, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
In 1989, Spike Lee made an audacious and impressive splash as the director, writer and co-star of Do the Right Thing, his (literally) incendiary character study of racial tensions in Brooklyn. More than 30 years later, Do the Right Thing remains intensely and unfortunately relevant – right down to the choke hold. And what performances: Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee co-star, and future stars John Turturro and Giancarlo Esposito are here too, along with Danny Aiello.
