Summary
Director Spike Lee delivers a bitingly satirical look at current television in the United States, revealing a network and an audience that have been Bamboozled. Frustrated when his ideas for a TV series about real African Americans are rejected, Harvard-educated black writer Pierre Delacroix (Damon Wayans) angrily creates a show-a modern-day minstrel show-so offensive that no network would dare to air it. But the show is produced and becomes a surprise hit, leaving the writer to face the fury of his assistant Sloan Hopkins (Jada Pinkett-Smith) and the entire black community
