About the book: 2018 / GRAND PRIX OF THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL. It all started with an advertisement in the newspaper: “The Ku Klux Klan is calling for new defenders of the white race.” Ron Stallworth, an ordinary Colorado Springs police detective, responds to an ad and... becomes a full member of one of the most fanatical and dangerous groups of our time. But that doesn't stop Ron. He even regularly calls her mastermind! However, he cannot attend KKK meetings. The fact is that Ron ... is African-American. At the Cannes Film Festival, after the premiere of the film based on this book, director Spike Lee listened to the applause of the audience for another six minutes. “The funniest thing and, at the same time, The creepiest thing about this story is that it actually happened.” Anton Dolin, film critic
