Shot over six years and drawn from more than 3,000 hours of unprecedented access, In Whose Name? offers an immersive, unfiltered portrait of Ye (pka Kanye West) during one of the most volatile chapters of his life. This is not a retrospective biography or a tidy career recap. Instead, the film places viewers inside the rooms, the conversations, and the moments that shaped a global icon at a crossroads.

Through intimate footage and behind-the-scenes access, the documentary captures the tension between creative brilliance and personal instability — between public persona and private struggle. Fame, faith, politics, business, and identity collide in real time, revealing the pressures that come with global celebrity and the costs of living without filters.

Rather than deliver a conventional narrative arc, In Whose Name? functions as a cinematic time capsule. It allows audiences to experience events as they unfold — the ambition, the confidence, the contradictions, and the unraveling. The result is a portrait that feels immediate and unsettlingly close.

Praised by The Guardian as “the most compelling of the Ye career autopsies by far,” the film stands apart for its sustained access and refusal to sanitize the moment.

Provocative, intimate, and deeply human, In Whose Name? was also named one of the Best Films of 2025 by the Los Angeles Times.
