Mysterious Kanye West Doc ‘In Whose Name?’ Heads to AFM With Goodfellas and Utopia, First Image Revealed (EXCLUSIVE)
The project has been shot over the last six years, charting West's celebrity and confronting his status as the 'world’s most controversial artist.'
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. 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.” In recent years, West has become less known for his music and more for a spate of incidents and controversies, including his high-profile marriage to Kim Kardashian and their subsequent divorce, an unsuccessful presidential campaign in 2020 and several antisemitic statements he made that saw him lose various sponsorships and contracts.
