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 Phi Gamma 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.
