Ranging from history to sports and music, Lee has tackled a diversity of topics in such nonfiction films as \u003ci\u003e4 Little Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Huey P. Newton Story\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJim Brown: All-American\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWhen the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts\u003c\/i\u003e. Letort analyzes the narrative and aesthetic discourses that structure these films and calls attention to Lee's technical skills and narrative-framing devices. Drawing on film and media studies, African American studies, and cultural theories, she examines the sociological value of Lee's investigations into contemporary culture and also explores the ethics of his commitment to a genre characterized by its claim to truth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54100052803928,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781438457628.jpg?v=1777896078","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-spike-lee-brand-a-study-of-documentary-filmmaking-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
