The core of BlacKkKlansman's story is rooted in the real Ron Stallworth's detailed account of the investigation (from his 2014 book Black Klansman). He was the first black officer on the Colorado Springs police force, first went undercover to a Stokely Carmichael speech, and as a detective, set up the Ku Klux Klan investigation almost by accident. ...
While Ron Stallworth in BlacKkKlansmanis pretty accurate to the real man (who Lee and Washington met before making the film), the same can't be said for Adam Driver's Flip Zimmerman. A white police officer did successfully infiltrate the KKK, but there are some key factual differences. Stallworth's real colleague wasn't called Flip Zimmerman - his ...
A key subplot in both Ron's personal life and the KKK investigation involves the Black Power Movement, with Stallworth finding himself romantically involved with "pig"-hating student activist Patrice Dumas just as the Black Student Union she runs is making waves in Colorado Springs. Verifiably true is that Stallworth attended a black student event ...
The finale of BlacKkKlansmansees all the plot threads come together in sickeningly tense fashion. And, fitting of the true-with-specks-of-false nature of those threads, the third act plays out as a cocktail harsh reality and evocative fiction. Startlingly true is pretty much everything that happens between Ron Stallworth and David Duke. He was appo...
While the polaroid is real, the other big event in the finale - the failed terrorist attack - isn't; Walter and his group of radical Klansmen were fictitious, and there are no records of any bomb attacks in Colorado Springs. This is probably the biggest twist of the truth in BlacKkKlansman, with the final act hinging on an event that didn't happen....
Taking away the terrorism aspect, though, the overall scope of the investigation is accurately shown in the film. Stallworth did successfully identify several military personnel as part of the Ku Klux Klan, including two working at NORAD. That said, the information was passed on not in a shady underpass deal, but involved visiting a high-security f...
After the investigation ended, Ron Stallworth continued his police career in a normal manner and never discussed what had occurred until the publication of his book in 2014. Because that's not a fully cathartic end-note, however, Spike Lee introduces two key moments to resolve the story. The first is Stallworth revealing to David Duke what's been g...
