In the 1970s, in the city of Colorado Springs, a young African American police officer named Ron Stallworth embarks on a risky mission to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. Through clever maneuvers, he manages to pose as a racist white man in a series of telephone calls, earning the trust of the organization's members. However, since he cannot physically attend the group's meetings, he recruits his Jewish colleague, Flip Zimmerman, to represent him in person and complete the ruse.
As the plot unfolds, Stallworth confronts the complex dynamics of being a Black man in a predominantly white institution, and begins to uncover the depth of hate and violence brewing within the Klan. As they infiltrate the organization, both officers find themselves caught up in a series of unpredictable and dangerous situations. Tensions mount as dozens of racial and political protests erupt across the country, and they become ensnared in a web of racism and theatricality that reveals the hypocrisy of those who claim to be protecting their "race."
With a touch of biting humor and social commentary, the story raises questions about identity and hatred, leading us to a powerful conclusion that resonates even today. The work captures the spirit of a turbulent era while showcasing one man's struggle to do what is right amidst the chaos.
