Jaby & Michael take on the powerful and thought-provoking drama Higher Learning for the very first time. Set at the fictional Columbus University, the film follows a diverse group of incoming freshmen as they navigate the complexities of identity, race, sexuality, and social conflict on campus. With tensions rising and ideologies clashing, the students are forced to confront harsh realities that shape their lives forever.
Written and directed by John Singleton (Boyz n the Hood, Poetic Justice, Four Brothers), Higher Learning stars Omar Epps (Love & Basketball, House, Juice), Kristy Swanson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Phantom, Dude, Where’s My Car?), and Michael Rapaport (True Romance, The 6th Day, Atypical). The cast also includes Ice Cube (Friday, Barbershop, 21 Jump Street), Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind, Requiem for a Dream, Labyrinth), Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk, Ray, Jerry Maguire), Tyra Banks (Coyote Ugly, Life-Size, America's Next Top Model), Cole Hauser (Yellowstone, Dazed and Confused, 2 Fast 2 Furious), and Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix, Boyz n the Hood, What’s Love Got to Do with It).
With its raw portrayal of student life and systemic issues, Higher Learning continues to resonate in today’s social climate. Watch as Achara & Jaby unpack the themes and performances that make this film an enduring classic.
