We Grown Now

“Don’t be afraid to fly.”

Malik (Blake Cameron James) and Éric (Gian Knight Ramirez) are inseparable boys growing up on the South Side of Chicago, dreaming of a way out of their neighborhood. They move through their days with the loose confidence of friendship, but the world around them has other plans. Minhal Baig follows them across the seasons as the distance between what they want and what they can have becomes a distance between them.
