What is We Grown Now About?
“In 1992 Chicago, as Michael Jordan solidifies himself as a champion, a story of two young legends in their own right begins,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “As wide-eyed and imaginative best friends Malik and Eric traverse the city, looking to escape the mundaneness of school and the hardships of growing up in public housing, their unbreakable bond is challenged when tragedy shakes their community just as they are learning to fly.”
We Grown Now is produced by Joe Pirro and Baig. Executive producers are Jeff Skoll and Anikah McLaren for Participant, James Schamus for Symbolic Exchange, Carrie Holt de Lama, and Jurnee Smollett.
