Dope

Dope, set in modern-day Inglewood, CA., but full of ’90s nostalgia, is the one film you need to see this summer.  The coming of age story follows Malcom (Shameik Moore) and his best friends as he descends into a drug dealer’s ring. The film is directed by Rick Famuyiwa (The Wood and Brown Sugar) and produced by Forest Whitaker, Pharrell Williams and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Dope stars A$AP Rocky, Zoë Kravitz, and Chanel Iman. You can catch the film beginning June 19.
