Description
In early-'60s Chicago, an education was supposed to be your way out of the projects, but the class wasn't made that wannabe writer Preach Jackson (Glynn Turman) and girl-chasing jock Cochise Morris (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs) couldn't figure out how to cut. Heartfelt urban comedy-drama that would serve as the basis for TV's "What's Happening!!" co-stars Garrett Morris, Cynthia Davis, Corin Rogers. 107 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Uncompressed PCM mono; Subtitles: English (SDH); interview; "making of" featurette; more.

Chicago, 1964: it's the last weeks of high school for aspiring poet Preach and his best friend, Cochise, and they have a full slate of extracurricular activities: swinging dance parties, late-night joyrides, and the stumbling pursuit of romance. Of course, when you're a young Black man in America, your coming-of-age story is far from complication-free. With Cooley High, director Michael Schultz and screenwriter Eric Monte who drew on his own experiences growing up in Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing project arrived at something truly unique in 1970s cinema: an endearingly funny, tender, and authentic portrait of Black teens striving toward a brighter tomorrow, brought to life by a dynamic ensemble cast and set to a heavenly hit parade of Motown classics.
