Here's the NYT today previewing Spike Lee's new film:

Spike Lee and the Battlefield of American History

With his new film, the peerless American filmmaker — self-isolating and reflective in New York — unsettles past and present conflicts.

And here's the Netflix official site description:

Da 5 Bloods | Netflix Official Site

www.netflix.com › title

Da 5 Bloods. 2h 34mDramas. Four African American veterans return to Vietnam decades after the war to find their squad leader's remains — and a stash of buried gold. From Spike Lee. Starring:Delroy Lindo, Jonathan Majors, Clarke Peters.

Hell, if the 1619 Project garnered international prizes by teaching minority American schoolchildren that America's founding was all about slavery, then hell yes!  

Give Spike an award for his non-peer-reviewed -- they say it like it's a good thing... -- history-class lesson via film that VietNam was all about ... fighting bruddahs and a stash of buried gold!

What could possibly go wrong with juicing up American history like this?? *head drop*
