Kanye West 's documentary gets major update after theatrical release

A documentary on Kanye West titled In Whose Name? is set to drop on streaming platforms today.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the doc will be available, though in select territories, on Apple, Amazon, Fandango, and YouTube.

It was previously released in theatres. Nico Ballesteros, a young filmmaker, directed the footage he had been shooting of Ye since he was 18. Now, he is 25.

In this wide period, the doc captures the unravelling of the Grammy winner's relationships and his music career as well as his mental health struggles.

As the documentary receives praise from audiences and critics, Nico, in a statement, thanked them for their reception.

“I am humbled at the reception this movie has gotten from audiences, critics and my peers in the filmmaking community," he adds.

The filmmaker continues, “By extending its reach beyond the theater, the film brings its exploration of American belief, power and identity to a global audience, offering a deeper understanding of America’s contradictions while illuminating the life and legacy of one of the most iconic entertainers of our time.”

The documentary also featured high-profile cameos who, at some point, interacted with Ye. It included Elon Musk, President Donald Trump, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Drake, Rihanna, LeBron James, Lady Gaga, Pharrell Williams, Diddy, Anna Wintour, the late Charlie Kirk and Kim Kardashian.

The logline of In Whose Life read, “What began as silent observation evolved into a profound journey of artistic and personal growth. Immersed in Ye’s world of extremes, he bore witness to brilliance and breakdowns, triumphs and turmoil; but also observed the paranoia and intensity that increasingly shaped Ye’s world."

"In the end, Ballesteros captured not just a portrait of Ye, but a reflection of the human condition in all its contradictions," the synopsis read.
