“Do what you have to”
14.05, TCM
Do the right thing. USA, 1989 (120 minutes). Director: Spike Lee. Cast: Danny Aiello, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee.
Spike Lee's third film is a militant and aggressive film that begins as a portrait of morality and culminates in an explosion of violence. “Do What You Must” combines a unique touch of humor with a dash of brutality. In summer in Brooklyn, the asphalt is almost boiling, but what is boiling is the blood of the characters who live in a predominantly black neighborhood where an Italian family runs a pizzeria. Behind the feigned calm lies a tormented and racist society. And a simple spark is enough to reveal the beast within.
Connections between species
4 p.m., Odyssey
The documentary series Wild Planet: Interconnected Species, which Odyssey premieres today, explores the connections between the smallest creatures and the most powerful carnivores on the planet, with the help of British biologist and explorer Patrick Aryee. Aryee visits, among other places, Costa Rica, where every year the viewer witnesses the huge breeding grounds of sea turtles, but also the arrival of predatory jaguars that come to kill them. It also examines the intricate web that connects prairie grasses and dung beetles with bison and the mighty grizzly bear. And in British Columbia, Canada, it shows that the annual salmon run is a migration that guarantees their survival while sustaining an entire ecosystem.

'headlight'
10/22, AMC
USA, 2015 (130 minutes). Director: Tom McCarthy. Cast: Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams.
True to the spirit of the best American journalistic cinema, “Spotlight” offers a dense and compelling plot about the investigation of priest pedophilia in the city by Boston Globe journalists and the subsequent cover-up by its hierarchy. “Spotlight” is a committed film with an attentive look and a firm handwriting, with an angular production that, far from excitement and shouting, captures a slice of life in order to generalize its intentions and praise the journalistic craft.
“Castro’s Spies,” in “TV Documents”
23.50, La 2
The report, “Castro's Spies,” recalls the story of the so-called “Cuban Five,” who were recruited by Cuban intelligence in the 1990s to infiltrate anti-Castro organizations based in Miami.
