Movie Haiku:Follow-up to THE GRACE LEE PROJECT (2005) focuses on Detroit Social Justice Activist GLB, now 90+ & still going strong! Subtitling her film "The Evolution of GLB," Lee takes a historical approach, telling the story of urban life in the USA--especially Rust Belt Detroit--using GLB as a prism who breaks white light into the rainbow colors of every American city. BRAVA!
