Tyquone seeks refuge between the lines of the basketball court. With Coach Lou as his guide, their eyes are set on a championship. But Tyquone wants more, and grapples with dreams bigger than Chicago can offer. The Film is Executive Produced Dwyane Wade and Chance the Rapper as well as the Department of Motion Pictures' Josh Penn and Michael Gottwald. Where I'm From: Jay Z A short documentary following Jay Z’s historic run of eight sold out shows to open the Barclays Center, which culminated in an infamous meeting between Jay Z and a stranger (Ellen Grossman) on the New York City subway, the subsequent moment generated headlines worldwide.
