In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country. When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation.
Following the meteoric rise & fall of NWA, "Straight Outta Compton" tells the astonishing story of how these youngsters revolutionized music & pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood & ignited a cultural war.
This peak at "Straight Outta Compton" indicates that the film will do two things: humanize the West Coast rappers in the context of their rise to fame & the environment that created them & focus on the indisputable cultural impact they had on America.
Directed by Gary F Gray.
In theaters August 14th, 2015.
