A documentary of the notorious racial terrorist bombing of an African American church during the Civil Rights Movement.
"In 1997, Spike Lee was already one of the most belligerent African-American voices in the cinematic scene, with films like 'Do The Right Thing' and 'Malcolm X'. His first foray into documentary filmmaking was '4 Little Girls'. The film follows a crime, described by Martin Luther King Jr. as "one of the most vicious and tragic ever perpetrated against humanity," committed by members of the Ku Klux Klan amid racial tension during the civil rights movement, marking an important turning point for the enactment of the historic 1964 Civil Rights Act. Despite being a documentary, Lee maintains his characteristic visual style, putting it at the service of the powerful testimonies of the survivors and the families of the victims. In this way, it is possible to feel a justified anger, as well as to condemn racism and honor the memory of four innocent little girls."
