The Roxy and Clyde Coffee are thrilled to present Hip Strip Movie Night, a FREE series of classic and contemporary film screenings, presented outdoors at the Missoula Senior Center. Concessions are available -- bring your own chair or rent one from us!
Set in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn, Spike Lee's thought-provoking and powerful drama Do the Right Thing chronicles the events that lead up to a race riot between the residents. The action takes place on the hottest day of the year and centers around a pizza parlor owned by Italian-American Sal. It's a popular hangout for the neighborhood youth. The events leading up to the confrontation are presented episodically and center around, Sal (Danny Aiello), his aimless employee Mookie (Spike Lee) and his pal, the radical Buggin Out (Giancarlo Esposito), who is irritated that Sal's "Wall of Fame" (containing only pictures of famous Italian-Americans) contains no African-American faces.
The party starts at 8:30, the film starts at sundown!
