Rob Peace
Directed, adapted by, and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave), this follows the true story of a brilliant young man (Jay Will) torn between his father’s shadowed past and his own promising future. Raised by his devoted mother (Mary J. Blige), Rob risks everything he has worked for to free his imprisoned father. Based on the New York Times bestseller by Jeff Hobbs.
“All told, the movie delivers a well-earned emotional gut punch that refreshingly does not come from perpetuating the physical and systemic violence it aims to shed light upon.” ~Beandrea July, The New York Times
“Rob is turned from stereotype to person, thanks to Will’s incredible work and Ejiofor’s unwavering commitment to capturing a full life, supported by Rob’s mother off screen. It’s an involving yet troubling tribute.” ~Benjamin Lee, The Guardian
