This striking use of black and white lines comes from the movie poster for Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman (2018). The film follows the story of Ron Stallworth (John David Washington), the first African-American to be hired in the Colorado Springs Police Department, and his infiltration of the local Klu Klux Klan chapter. The central theme of racism is evident. White lines of the American flag, a flag that supposedly represents freedom and opportunity, is holding the lead actor back from the forefront. Due to the nature of his career, the lines can be read both as a representation of race, as well as the unjust treatment of the black community from law enforcement.
