Legendary Movie Director Spike Lee Lands Creative Partnership With Netflix

Flatbush is a true-crime thriller written by prolific screenwriter Harry Jeudy and set in the unforgiving streets of 1990 Brooklyn, NY. The close and loving relationship between Haitian American teenager Harold and his mother are tested when they are caught between two worlds: survival or loyalty. Faced with insurmountable obstacles that put their lives in imminent danger, they are forced to find unorthodox ways to survive. Flatbush is a coming-of-age story showcasing the overt xenophobia exhibited towards the Haitian community in New York throughout the 1990s. With Flatbush, experience a community with no choice but to fight back, reclaim their dignity and uphold their sense of self-worth by any means necessary. The film tells the true story of how the Haitian American community rose above stigmatization and thrived against all odds.
