Kevin Willmott on Media and African American

 

 Host Lisa Loving speaks with University of Kansas film professor Kevin Willmott, who co-wrote the script of the film “Chi-Raq” with Spike Lee. The film managed to rile the mayor of Chicago, city activists and one of the Windy City’s better-known rappers.

“Chi-Raq” is a satire; a bold use of rhyme, with gripping outrage about the toll of gun deaths on Chicago’s south side and about such violence everywhere.
