Working together and separately, Spike Lee and Sam Pollard have produced a series of ground-breaking documentaries on African-American history. These include If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise (2010), a follow-up to critically-acclaimed documentary on the effects of Hurricane Katrina, When the Levees Broke (2006). The latter was presented at the International Festival of Arts & Ideas in 2007.
This year, Festival takes an opportunity to look at their work in greater depth, with screenings of several important documentaries in their collaboration.
