Greetings, everyone. Tonight, Black Cinema Club is screening The Spook Who Sat by the Door.
I both read the book
by Sam Greenlee
and saw the film many years ago. Both are excellent. The Spook Who Sat by the Door depicts the life of the first-ever Black recruit to the CIA.
I
was not aware of the shenanigans that went on, with the FBI destroying
every copy of the film. For that reason alone, it's worth viewing this
film. Fortunately, because they were never able to get their hands on
the original, we can see it.
See you there!
