“A Spectacular Film by Mr. Spike Lee”

At a New York television network at the turn of the century, Pierre Delacroix (Damon Wayans), a Harvard-educated producer, can't get his sitcom made. Spike Lee follows him as he pitches the worst idea he can think of to get himself fired: a modern minstrel show, with black performers in blackface. His assistant Sloan Hopkins (Jada Pinkett Smith) sees the show take shape and keeps asking him how far he plans to go.
