The first proper look at the mysterious Kanye West documentary In Whose Name? is finally out.
Ever since the news of the doc first hit the internet last year, fans have been wondering what it’s all about and where they will be able to watch it. The documentary is directed by Nicolas Ballesteros and captures footage of last 6 years which “promises to offer a unique and cinematic perspective on Ye’s public transformation.”
The film, which has been edited through 3000 hours of footage, will see a theatrical release on September 19th and follows the ups and downs of Kanye’s life including bipolar disorder, a collapsing marriage, lost sponsorships, and growing backlash.
According to the description, “Ye returns to his childhood home in Chicago, walking through its empty rooms with neighbors who knew his family when he was a boy. In these moments, stripped of fame, he reflects on his roots, his grief, and the family he longs to hold onto. Walking through Ye’s inner circle, we see the loyal, the opportunistic, and the legendary; a man alternately driven by vision and consumed by ambition.”
