Get On the Bus
The late, great Ossie Davis - whom Lee called "a giant among giants" (and who acted in six features directed by Lee) - leads an outstanding ensemble in this inventively shot film about a disparate group of black men travelling to Washington D.C. for the Million Man March.

Shot in eighteen days, the film has a terrific energy and sense of immediacy. A scene where the men break into James Brown's Papa Don't Take No Mess is pure uplift. Imported print.
