"Get on The Bus is all about dialogue. That is, a dialogue between one community of Americans, within the confines of a bus headed to the 1995 Million Man March. This is an emotional rollercoaster. None of the men in this film are of the same mindset, or from the same walk of life, but have come together for a common cause. Ossie Davis gives an all-time great performance. Overall, this is an under-appreciated Spike Lee joint. Perhaps it will find a new life in the times we are living in...."

💡 Did You Know?

Rather than seek studio financing, Spike Lee financed the film with monetary contributions from famous black men so as to reflect the spirit of the Million Man March. The contributors included (but were not limited to): Will Smith, Danny Glover, Wesley Snipes, Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., and Robert Guillaume.
