STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON (2015)
Starring O'Shea Jackson Jr, Corey Hawkins and Jason Mitchell. Directed by F. Gary Gray.

In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the United States. 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 and fall of N.W.A., 'Straight Outta Compton' tells the astonishing story of how these youngsters revolutionised music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war.
