For every “Girl 6,” “She Hate Me” or “Miracle at St. Anna” in filmmaker Spike Lee‘s oeuvre, there’s not only a great feature to offset it (“25th Hour,” “He Got Game,” “Inside Man“), but several fantastic documentaries (“4 Little Girls,” “When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts” “If God Is Willing and da Creek Don’t Rise“) as well.
One could even argue if Lee’s feature career got a little uneven later in the game (which is still very debatable), his documentaries — some of them his best work, period — never faltered.
