Dear White People

About the movie

Four black students attend an Ivy League college where a riot breaks out over an “African American” themed party thrown by white students. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, the film explores racial identity in postracial America while weaving a story about forging one's unique path in the world.
Winner of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival's Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Talent, Dear White People is a sly, provocative satire of race relations in the age of Obama. Writer/director Justin Simien’s sharp and funny feature film debut has earned him a spot on Variety's annual "10 Directors to Watch.” Featuring Tyler James William (Everybody Hates Chris), Kyle Gallner (American Sniper, Red State), Teyonah Parris (Mad Med), and Dennis Haysbert (24, The Unit, Heat).
“One of the freshest, funniest, boldest debut films to come along in years” – Newsday
“The most elegantly candid comedy of racial tension since Spike Lee burst onto the scene 30 years ago” – BBC.com
“Arguably the most vital film to come out of Hollywood in 2014” – SFBay
