FRESHMAN YEAR is the story of CJ, a preacher’s son and basketball player. His path intertwines with Marcella, a cheerleader and the first in her family to attend college. CJ and Marcella both leave their sheltered homes and different backgrounds, to face the real world of battling peer pressure, and falling in love. Their freshman year takes a different turn, when a life-altering decision threatens to halt their dreams and disappoint their families. This film shows the fun, freedom, and friendships of college life. But more importantly, reveals real-life scenarios facing students, and the challenges they encounter when standing up for their faith. With a fantastic cast - including fan-favourite Benjamin Onyango (GOD’S NOT DEAD) - FRESHMAN YEAR is the freshest faith-based film of the year!
