Written and Directed by Justin Simien, Dear White People follows a group of black students as they navigate campus life and politics at a predominantly white college in this sharp and very funny feature film debut. The unexpected election of activist Samantha White (Tessa Thompson, Selma) as head of a Winchester University residence starts a culture war that ignites the campus. While Sam uses her notoriety as host of the provocative radio show 'Dear White People', Lionel Higgins (Tyler James Williams, The Walking Dead) is recruited by an all white student newspaper to go undercover and write about black culture with only one problem- its something he knows little about! Meanwhile Coco Conners (Teyonah Parris, Mad Men) tries to use the growing controversy to carve out a career in reality TV. However no one at Winchester University is prepared for the student newspaper's outrageous, ill-conceived annual Halloween party; billed as 'Unleash your inner Negro'. A understanding strain in race relations sees the party descend into riotous mayhem. Signature Entertainment Presents Dear White People on EST October 30th and VOD & DVD November 2nd, 2015
