53 %Bamboozled is a satirical comedy-drama film directed by Spike Lee. It follows the story of Pierre Delacroix, a successful African-American television writer who becomes frustrated with the lack of opportunities for people of color in the entertainment industry. In a desperate attempt to make a point about racism and stereotypes, Delacroix creates a controversial fictional variety show called Mantan: The New Millennium Minstrel Show, featuring performers in blackface. The show becomes a surprise hit, but Delacroix soon realizes that he has inadvertently perpetuated harmful stereotypes and set off a wave of protests.

Set against the backdrop of the 1960s, Bamboozled explores themes of race, media, and the power of satire.
