Higher Learning
Question the knowledge.
Directed by John Singleton
Produced by New Deal Productions, Columbia Pictures
A socially conscious campus drama that grapples with systemic racism, radicalization, and violence through interconnected student narratives.
African-American student Malik is on a track scholarship; academics are not his strong suit, and he goes in thinking that his athletic abilities will earn him a free ride through college. Fudge, a "professional student" who has been at Columbus for six years so far, becomes friendly with Malik and challenges his views about race and politics in America.
