Having trouble staying awake today? This high-spirited trailer for Spike Lee's vibrant documentary/musical,
Passing Strange , should help get you going.
We told you about
Passing Strange back in May when
PBS picked it up as part of its
Great Performances series. Lee's doc is a filmed version of the theatrical stage production of the Tony nominated Broadway musical of the same name. It's about a young black man who travels to Europe in the 1970s to become an artist and live a bohemian lifestyle.

Trailblazing filmmaker Spike Lee has done some great work for TV. One of my favorite Lee TV projects is
Sucker Free City , his underappreciated pilot/telemovie for Showtime about San Francisco's criminal underground. And who could forget the Emmy Award-winning Hurricane Katrina doc
When the Levees Broke for HBO?
Lee is returning to TV with his latest project,
Passing Strange , which has
just been picked up by PBS' Great Performances series at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Strange is expected to air on PBS next year.
The film is a theatrical stage production of the Tony nominated Broadway musical of the same name. It's about a black man who travels to Europe in the 1970s to find himself. The music is by Mark Stewart, or Stew, an acclaimed L.A. based singer/songwriter.
