Malcolm (Shameik Moore) is a brilliant geek who is obsessed with 90s hip-hop. He and his two best friends play in a punk band together and get hassled at high school for their throwback style. When illegal substances are hidden in his backpack at an underground dance club, his life gets extremely complicated. Malcolm will go to crazy lengths to achieve his dreams: getting into Harvard University, getting closer to his fantasy girl Nakia (Zoë Kravitz) and cashing in his fortune in bitcoins. Produced by Forest Whitaker and featuring a funky retro soundtrack curated by Executive Producer Pharrell Williams, Dope is a fresh, funny and vibrant film that wowed audiences at the Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals.

This is a film that is a very pleasant surprise in several aspects. Firstly, it is the young actors who show that they are incredibly capable and can easily carry the entire film. Secondly, the characters that appear here, and subsequently the screenplay, which has something of "Pulp Fiction", but at the same time is different, modern, and for the young audience.
