In the early 1970s, Ron Stallworth is the first African-American detective to serve in the Colorado Springs Police Department. Determined to make a name for himself, Stallworth bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan. The young detective soon recruits a more seasoned colleague, Flip Zimmerman, into the undercover investigation of a lifetime. Together, they team up to take down the extremist hate group as the organisation aims to sanitize its violent rhetoric to appeal to the mainstream.

This Oscar-winning film produced by Spike Lee (2018, 135 minutes, in English) will be followed by a discussion with:

  • Martine Brunschwig Graf, President, Federal Commission against Racism

  • Stéphane Bussard, Reporter, Le Temps 

  • Riccardo Bocco,  Professor of Anthropology and Sociology, the Graduate Institute, Geneva (moderator) 

Entry is free, but seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
