In DOPE, Malcolm (Shameik Moore) is carefully surviving life in a tough neighborhood in Los Angeles while juggling college applications, academic interviews, and the SAT. A chance invitation to an underground party leads him into an adventure that could allow him to go from being a geek, to being dope, to ultimately being himself. The film also stars Kimberly Elise, Tony Revolori, Kiersey Clemons, Chanel Iman, Quincy Brown, Zoe Kravitz and A$AP Rocky and Tyga.
“DOPE” is produced by Forest Whitaker, executive produced by Pharrell Williams, and co-executive produced by Sean Combs.
