BlacKkKlansman dives into the 1970s following a Black deputy named Ron Stallworth who takes on the mission to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. With help from his jewish coworker, they are successfully recruited into the Klan, and exposing their true intentions preventing its leaders from taking political office and power. The film closes with videos from the 2017 Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, showing White supremacists and the counter protesters, and President Trump’s statements after the events. The screen slowly fades into the American flag, that is turned upside down and fades into black and white.

The film is very powerful and is a balanced blend of comedy and drama. The viewer is following a minority who is attempting to expose one of the largest hate groups known in the 70’s. This film is  recommended to viewers who typically get bored during movies. It is filled with good jokes and is informational about the truth and hatred behind the KKK and how it affected minorities and authority. The closing scene truly hits hard making the movie come full circle. How hard Ron Stallworth and his team worked to expose the hate group preventing them from taking power, to closing with statements from Trump saying there were “very fine people on both sides.”

I recommend this film to those who enjoy a bit of history and comedy and are not for white supremancy.
