The Bklyn Combine partnered with BAM Rose Cinemas for a special screening of The Spook Who Sat by the Door, a 1973 film adaptation of a novel written by Sam Greenlee. The fictional story, directed by Ivan Dixon, is about Dan Freeman, the first black CIA officer, and of the CIA's history of training persons and political groups who later used their specialized training against the CIA.
After the screening, Bklyn Combine partner, Uncle Keith, moderated a panel discussion on the film and its impact over 50 years after its release. Our esteemed panelists were restaurateur, Aunts et Uncles, Nicole Nicholas; writer and cultural critic, Bonsu Thompson; actor and philanthropist, Jamie Hector; and daughter Natiki Greenlee.
Thank you to all who came out and supported.
