BLACKKKLANSMAN

This story is based on Ron Stallworth's real life as the first black police officer in Colorado Springs, who went on to go undercover to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan.  Do Not Miss This Movie.  Based on a true story, it will keep you on the edge of you r seat.  As a Colorado native, I was shocked by the facts and frightened.  I give it a 9.
