In praise of ... Spike Lee - 'When the levees broke'

Guardian Unlimited | Comment is free | Leader: In praise of ... Spike Lee: "Whatever its effect on the world at large, the Bush administration has been a boon for America's documentary-makers. In recent years, Michael Moore, Errol Morris and Robert Greenwald have all enjoyed brisk business with works that, implicitly or otherwise, address everything from 9/11 to Iraq to the supine US media. Yet arguably the most mature, measured and sensitive of these films comes from Spike Lee, a director not previously known for exhibiting these qualities."
