Spike Lee (Do the Right Thing, Malcom X) returns with his latest and most fearless feature in years, a modern day adaptation of the ancient Greek play “Lysistrata” by Aristophanes. Lee has updated and transplanted Aristophanes’ story from Athens to Englewood, a neighborhood on Chicago’s infamous Southside. There we find the modern-day Lysistrata (Teyonah Parris, Dear White People), determined to end the violence ravaging her community by convincing women to withhold sex until their men put down their guns. Featuring a fantastic supporting cast comprised of Nick Cannon (Drumline, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), John Cusack (Being John Malkovich), and several previous Lee collaborators including Samuel L. Jackson (Do the Right Thing), Angela Basset (Malcolm X), and Wesley Snipes (Jungle Fever). Profoundly moving and spectacularly provocative, Chi-Raq is a bold, biting satire, and an urgently relevant look at contemporary issues of race, gun violence, and sex in America.
