Eveything to know about Netflix 's 'jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy'
Last January, jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. TIME Studios and Iconic Events Releasing have premiered Act 1 (Vision) in theaters all across the nation for a one-day event on February 10, 2022.
In the trailer for the documentary series, a narrator exclaims over coarse footage of Kanye performing in a colossal stadium: “It felt like the bigger Kanye got, the further we grew apart. But there was more of Kanye’s story that I needed to tell.” Reportedly, the documentary series will be displaying both the rapper's early days wanting to break through and his present-day life as a global artist and brand.
While the three-part documentary essentially revolves around Kanye and his rise as a global phenomenon, director duo Clarence ‘Coodie’ Simmons Jr. and Chike Ozah insisted on entailing Coodie's inception story as well. Like global artist Kanye, Coodie's commitment to following his dreams at any cost highlights a primary theme of the series.
In an interview Chike said:
"It was important for people to see the juxtaposition of these two protagonists, that are both following their passions, their journeys unified, but their journeys still take them onto separate paths."
Despite the rapper being fortified with unwavering confidence, Act 1 of the series chronicles Kanye's long struggle to get signed, and how his affirmation to stay true to his artistic self and vision was a huge obstacle before bringing him to global popularity. As exclaimed by the directors, both Kanye's and Coodie's success stories will certainly have a motivating lesson to offer.
The three-part documentary, jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy will debut on Netflix starting February 16 (Wednesday), 2022.
