Rick Famuyiwa's coming-of-age film Dope follows Malcolm a teenager growing up in a rough section of California. He's obsessed with '90s hip-hop, and is teased mercilessly for his commitment to dressing like the rappers from that era. Malcolm is a smart kid with dreams of getting into an Ivy League school. One night he attends a party in honor of a local drug dealer, and what transpires is a wild night for Malcolm and his friends. Dope screened at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.
