Independent Visions: Dear White People

Dear White People is a sly, provocative satire of race relations in the age of Obama. This multiple award-winning film follows a group of African American students as they navigate campus life and racial politics. The unexpected election of activist Samantha White as head of a traditionally black residence hall at a predominantly white college sets up a campus culture war that challenges conventional notions of what it means to be black. Directed by Justin Simien, 2014, 108 minutes.
