Spike Lee, pseudonimo di Shelton Jackson Lee (Atlanta, 20 marzo 1957), è un regista, sceneggiatore, attore, produttore cinematografico e scrittore statunitense. Considerato il più celebre e rappresentativo dei registi afroamericani, oltre che uno dei maggiori cineasti americani degli ultimi quarant'anni, nei suoi film affronta temi politici e sociali, quali il razzismo, le relazioni interrazziali, la violenza e le droghe. La sua casa di produzione cinematografica si chiama 40 Acres & a Mule Filmworks. Lee ha diretto anche una serie di spot pubblicitari per la Nike, con protagonista l'amico Michael Jordan. In questi spot Lee recitò la parte di Mars Blackmon, personaggio già interpretato in Lola Darling. Ha inoltre diretto molti videoclip, per cantanti quali Michael Jackson, Tracy Chapman, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Eros Ramazzotti e per gruppi quali i Public Enemy. Ha ricevuto 6 candidature agli Oscar per il documentario 4 Little Girls, per la sceneggiatura di Fa' la cosa giusta e nelle vesti di produttore, regista e sceneggiatore per BlacKkKlansman, vincendone uno per l’ultima categoria. Nel 2003 ha ricevuto il Premio César alla carriera. Nel 2005 ha pubblicato la sua autobiografia, intitolata Questa è la mia storia e non ne cambio una virgola. Sulla Hollywood Walk of Fame è presente una stella con il suo nome. Nei titoli di testa dei suoi film appare sempre la scritta A Spike Lee Joint. Il 14 novembre 2015 riceve il premio Oscar alla carriera per il contributo che ha dato al mondo dello spettacolo durante la sua carriera. Wikipedia
