Innovative filmmaker Spike Lee 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 parties, the stars of the filem - Laurence Fishburne, an intense student who encourages his buddies to fight for his beliefs; Giancarlo Esposito, out to strengthen the Greek system with his Gamma Phi Gamma fraternity brothers; Spike Lee, driven to become a "Gamma Man"; and Tisha Campbell, leader of the sister sorority sister "Gamma Rays" - find themselves caught up in the 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, Lee successfully challenges viewpoints about self-identity and self- esteem in this original, contemporary musical comedy.
