Afro-punk Festival 2009 celebrates Spike Lee and the 20th anniversary of Do The Right Thing!
A full day of movies from the visionary African-American director begins with Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads, the story of a Bed-Stuy barbershop, made by Lee whilst he was still a film student at NYU.

It will be shown along with Making Do the Right Thing, a behind the scenes documentary about the film that made Spike Lee's name as a director.
