Blackfilmandtv.com's Wilson Morales talks to Jurnee Smollett and writer-director Minhal Baig about We Grown Now

Written and directed by Minhal Baig, the cast includes Blake Cameron James, Gian Knight Ramirez, S. Epatha Merkerson, with Lil Rel Howery and Jurnee Smollett

In 1992 Chicago, as Michael Jordan solidifies himself as a champion, a story of two young legends in their own right begins. As wide-eyed and imaginative best friends Malik and Eric traverse the city, looking to escape the mundaneness of school and the hardships of growing up in public housing, their unbreakable bond is challenged when tragedy shakes their community just as they are learning to fly.
