Stylized as HΘMΣCΘMING; subtitled: “A Film by Beyoncé,” the film is described as an “intimate, in-depth look” at her preparation in the months leading up to the music festival, revealing “the emotional road from creative concept to a cultural movement.”

According to CNN, “Homecoming” is a love letter to HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). The title alone is a nod to the importance of homecomings on black campuses with its band and drumline performances, as well as sorority and fraternity events.
