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.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"Higher Learning is a serious drama focused on racial tension and academic struggles in college. There is no indication that the Christmas season plays any meaningful role in the setting, plot, themes, or resolution."
