  • Resumen

  • An examination of four key elements in Spike Lee's 1997 documentary 4 Little Girls, focused on the process of mourning, childhood, and Lee's decision to show autopsy photos of the four murdered girls. The closing witness of Chris McNair (inaccurately called "Ron" in the comments, apologies for the misspeak!) reflects the refinement of memory in the film, Alpha Robertson extends the meaning of witness to the expanse of life, the closing credits scene with home video footage of two children set memory in childhood, and Lee's attempt to ethically stage the revelation of autopsy photos in order to remind us of the materiality of the bombing sets memory in the physicality of atrocity.
