Spike Lee and Uber are working on a joint venture to “fight
the power.” A series of short films will
be shown focusing on the people behind the scenes in Lee’s favorite borough of
New York – Brooklyn. Entitled ‘Uber
Presents Da Republic of Brooklyn,’ any Uber drivers choosing to take part in
the movies are being compensated for their time and project participation.
Lee said:
“I was attracted to this project because I know a lot of people who drive on the Uber platform and it gives them the flexibility they need to pursue their dreams. That’s how we do it in Brooklyn – that’s the Brooklyn hustle.”
The series features “Malka,” “Sunny,” “Domingo,” “Keith,” and
“Rodney” and can be viewed on Uber Presents.
