Spike Lee: People are losing faith in the justice system

Filmmaker Spike Lee has spent much of his career making movies about race and poverty. He focuses his cameras and scripts on stories that he thinks are being ignored. He spoke to Anderson about the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner and the decisions by two grand juries to decline indicting police officers involved in their deaths. Their discussion included the current state of America's justice system and the chokehold scene in Lee's iconic film "Do the Right Thing."
