- 4 Little Girls is a 1997 historical documentary film about the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, USA. It was directed by Spike Lee and nominated for an Academy Award for "Best Documentary". The title is a something of a misnomer, as all but one of the "little girls" were 14 years old. The incident is the subject of the 1964 song "Birmingham Sunday" by Richard and Mimi Fariña. The song was used in the opening sequence of the film, performed by Mimi's sister, Joan Baez. 4 Little Girls premiered Wednesday, June 25, 1997 at the Guild 50th Street Theatre in New York City. It was produced by 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks, Lee’s production company, and Home Box Office (HBO). Lee first became interested in making a movie about the Birmingham bombing as a film student at New York University in 1983. He read a New York Times Magazine article about the incident and was so moved, he wrote to Chris McNair, the father of victim Denise, asking for permission to tell her story on film. McNair politely turned down the young, aspiring filmmaker’s offer. “I was entering my first semester at N.Y.U. So my skills as a filmmaker were nonexistent, and at that time, Chris McNair was still hesitant to talk about it,” Lee said in a 1997 interview with Industry Central’s The Director’s Chair. “I believe timing is everything. So it took ten years of Chris thinking about this and ten years of myself making movies for this to come together. ” Lee also said his original plan was for the film to be a dramatic reproduction of the incident, but he later decided that format would not be the best way to tell this important story.
