Esther Iverem is the author of "We Gotta Have It: Twenty Years of Seeing Black at the Movies, 1986 - 2006." She tells Jim Fleming about the first time she saw Spike Lee's film "She Gotta Have It" and why she thought it marked the start of a new wave of Black cinema. And we hear clips from several of the films she cites.
