The documentary <strong><em>Michael Jackson&#8217;s Journey from Motown to Off the Wall<\/em><\/strong> will be a premiere in Canada and a Q&amp;A session will follow: an unmissable opportunity for film-lovers and fans of Spike Lee and Michael Jackson.

As a pioneer in independent film production and a proud ambassador of African-American culture, Spike Lee has always addressed complex issues, such as identity-based and ethnic conflicts. His work is for the most part politically oriented, provocative, and often controversial.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted and honoured to have <strong>Spike Lee<\/strong> back at the Festival, which is a testament to his great support for the MIBFF \u2013 another huge achievement for Montreal.

His commitment to independent cinema, his strength, determination, and activism in achieving social justice really make a difference in a world that, too often, tends to silence us.\u201d &#8211; <strong>Fabienne Colas<\/strong>, president and founder of the MIBFF<\/p>\n<p>Tickets and infos <a href=\"https:\/\/montrealblackfilm.com\/2016-festival\/#\/event\/175\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPIKE LEE BACK AT THE MIBFF!
