Filmmakers Spike Lee and Nate Parker have been slapped with a copyright infringement lawsuit over their 2019 film American Skin .

But two independent filmmakers sued Lee and Parker on Wednesday, claiming they “stole” the idea for American Skin from a screenplay they wrote and submitted to various Hollywood executives a few years prior.
