DESCRIPTION:The Spook Who Sat by the Door is a 1973 film based on the 1969 novel of the 
 same name by Sam Greenlee. It is both a satire of the civil rights struggle 
 in the United States of the late 1960s and a serious attempt to focus on 
 the issue of black militancy. Dan Freeman, the titular protagonist, is 
 enlisted in the Central Intelligence Agency's elitist espionage program as 
 its token black. After mastering agency tactics, however, he becomes 
 disillusioned and drops out to train young Chicago blacks as "Freedom 
 Fighters". As a story of one man's reaction to white ruling-class 
 hypocrisy, the film is loosely autobiographical and personal.\n\nThe novel 
 and the film also dramatize the CIA's history of giving training to persons 
 and/or groups who later utilize their specialized intelligence training 
 against the agency - an example of "blowback".\n\nDoors open at 7pm, film 
 at 7:30. $5 suggested donation, no one turned away. FREE POPCORN 
 FOREVER!\n\n~Sponsored by Liberated Lens~\n
