Spike Lee Talks About The Importance Of 'Miracle At St. Anna,' Says It's A Struggle To Make James Brown Biopic

MTV News recently caught up with the 51-year-old Oscar-nominated director to talk about his new movie, "Miracle at St. Anna"; his dreams of making a musical; the current state of black cinema; Barack Obama; his Kobe Bryant project; and more.
