- Synopsis:
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 and parties, the stars of the film - Laurence Fishburne, an intense student who encourages his buddies ("DaFellas") to fight for his beliefs; Giancarlo Esposito (Julian Eaves), out to strengthen the Greek system with his Gamma Phi Gamma fraternity brothers; Spike Lee, driven to become a "Gamma man"; and Tisha Campbell (Jane Toussaint), leader of the sorority sister "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. - Actors:
