Spike Lee.

Filmregisseur Spike Lee gaat een film maken die hulde moet brengen aan de zwarte soldaten in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Lee, die recent nog aankondigde dat hij een vervolg maakt op zijn documentaire over orkaan Katrina, is van oordeel dat de rol van zwarte soldaten over het hoofd wordt gezien in de film.

Zwarte soldaten onzichtbaar voor Vietnamoorlog
"Voordat er films kwamen over de oorlog in Vietnam, was de zwarte soldaat onzichtbaar", vertelde hij aan de Italiaanse krant La Repubblica. De film zal gebaseerd zijn op het boek 'Miracle at St Anna' van James McBride en wordt opgenomen in Italië.

Gediscrimineerd maar patriotisch
"Ik heb onlangs een zwarte oorlogsveteraan ontmoet die gevochten heeft in Iwo Jima, en die man verteld me hoe gekwetst hij was omdat hij niet één Afro-Amerikaan had gezien in de twee films van Clint Eastwood", aldus Lee. "Hoewel ze in hun thuisland omwille van hun kleur gediscrimineerd werden, vochten zwarten als helden", voegde hij er nog aan toe.

"Ze gedroegen zich als patriotten terwijl hun broers thuis gelynched werden of in het beste geval als tweederangsburgers behandeld werden".

Waargebeurd verhaal
Het boek van McBride is gebaseerd op het waargebeurd verhaal van een 'zwarte' divisie van het Amerikaanse leger dat tegen de nazi's vocht in Toscane. Centraal staat de vriendschap die zich ontplooit tussen een van de soldaten en een zesjarig Italiaans weeskind. (hln)
