Dear White People

ComedyDramaRomance108 min

At a prestigious Ivy League college, a group of Black students navigate campus politics, social hierarchies, and daily slights that keep turning private frustrations into public fights. The story moves among several students, including a sharp-tongued radio host and her classmates, as friendships, rivalries, and romances get tangled up with questions of identity and belonging. What begins as simmering tension over who gets heard on campus escalates when a racially charged party throws the school into open conflict. As students take sides and push back in very different ways, the film follows how protest, performance, and personal ambition collide.
