Cabrini Green drama ‘We Grown Now’ kicks off Chicago International Film Festival
‘We Grown Now’ tells the story of two 10-year-old boys growing up in the Cabrini Green housing project in the 1990s.
What do you do with a family home after a death? It’s a question writer and director Minhal Baig wrestled with. And that led her to learning about the experiences of thousands of people who lost their homes once the Cabrini Green towers were demolished in 2011.
Reset chats with the writer and director of We Grown Now about the process of making this film and what she learned about the complicated relationship to home.
