Higher Learning...

Yesterday in the i.R.I.S.E. Summer Program, we watched the movie "Higher Learning". The movie has to do with different types of races integrating in college. They're trying to deal with school, but also having to deal with racism, financial problems, sexuality and violence. There are multiple encounters between the black students and the white students. If the black students have a party, then then have to shut it down even if the white students are throwing a party too. The police there racially profile every chance they get.

One of the tree main characters named Kristen is having a hard time trying to find herself. In the beginning she's partying with her friends. Later that night, Kristen went with Bobby to his dorm & they had unprotected  sex. She struggled to get him off of her, but he didn't stop & basically raped her. She then joined a woman's group. She also cant decide whether if she attracted to males or females.

Another character named Remy can not make friends. The 1st opportunity of finding friend, Neo-Nazis try to become friends with him and he excepts the friendship.
