Lee is thrilled to show off New York City and its resilience.

“As a New Yawker who bleeds orange (the colors New York City), I’m proud that I have a Spike Lee Joint about how my/our city handled being at the epicenters for 9/11 and COVID-19. When the project was announced in May, Lee stated that “We dig deep into NYC’s greatest city on the God’s Earth and the diverse citizens who make this so.”
