Dope, written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa centers around Malcolm (Shameik Moore), a high school geek with a high-top fade, carefully navigating life in The Bottoms, one of the toughest neighborhoods in Inglewood, California. He and his fellow outcasts (Tony Revolori, Kiersey Clemons) share a voracious appreciation for all things ’90s hip-hop.
