Hence why today, we move forward into examining various leaders within the film industry. Starting with one of the most iconic African-American film directors-Mr. Spike Lee. Spike Lee has been a controversial character since he appeared on the scene with his very first movie. His preference for taboo topics that push the envelope of what society is comfortable with, has always been his trademark.
