The synopsis reads: “With a billion-dollar budget and a commitment to truth, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, invites 18-year-old Nicolas Ballesteros armed with an iPhone on a six-year journey revealing unfiltered aspects of celebrity life which confront the provocative opinions, grand visions and bold contrarianism that defined him as the world’s most controversial artist.
The film follows Ye’s ascent to becoming the richest Black man in American history while uncovering why the superstar risked everything he had built in the name of freedom. Examining the culture that birthed the star, ‘In Whose Name?’ explores the overlapping influences of corporate exploitation, racial complexities and psychological struggles inherent in the American dream.”
Expected to be a major release, the documentary is slated to be premiered at the American Film Market, an international television and media market event.
While details remain limited, the project aims to provide a revealing and raw exploration of Kanye’s artistic and personal battles, offering fresh perspectives on the decisions and ideologies that have shaped his career and identity.
