Innovative filmmaker, Spike Lee (She's Gotta Have It), brings to the screen a music-filled, offbeat contemporary comedy that takes an unforgettable look at Black college life. Amidst gala coronations, football, fraternities, parades and parties, the stars of the film-Laurence Fishburne (Dap Dunlap), an intense student who encourages his buddies (DaFellas) to fight for his beliefs; Giancarlo Esposito (Julian Big Brother Almighty Eaves), out to strengthen the Greek system with his Gamma PhiGamma fraternity brothers; Spike Lee (Half-Pint), driven to become a Gamma man; and Tisha Campbell (Jane Toussaint), leader of the sorority, Gamma Rays, find themselves caught up in romance and relationships/rituals and rivalries during one outrageous homecoming weekend. With dynamic music, including EU's hit Da Butt, and dance numbers choreographed by Otis Sallid (Fame), Lee successfully challenges viewpoints about self-identity and self-esteem in this original, contemporary musical comedy.
