Kanye West's groundbreaking documentary features a post-mortem appearance by Charlie Kirk
In a poignant turn of events, the unauthorized documentary "In Whose Name?" premiered in select theaters on September 19, 2020. Directed and produced by Nico Ballesteros, who has been Kanye West's personal videographer over the years, the documentary offers an intimate look into the life of the controversial musician between 2018 and 2024.
The film, which spans over 3,000 hours of footage, delves into various aspects of West's life, including his divorce with Kim Kardashian, his living with bipolar disorder, and his controversial comments. One of the most unexpected appearances in the documentary is that of Charlie Kirk, who had a secret meeting with West prior to his death on September 10, 2020, at the age of 31.
West's political journey is a significant focus of the documentary. In one clip, he is seen calling Trump's advisor Jared Kushner about a private entrance at the White House. West seems to express regret about getting involved in politics publicly, expressing fears about political violence and his safety. At another point during the film, West is shown wearing a Make America Great Again hat and expressing concerns about his safety after showing support for President Trump.
The documentary also features footage of a secret meeting between Kirk, West, and Candace Owens in 2018. West and Owens discuss culture and politics, offering insight into West's political views and alliances at the time. West announced his presidential campaign less than two years after deciding to back away from politics in the documentary.
However, the documentary does not provide a detailed report on a particular person from West's circle involved in political talks during the 2018 filming. Ballesteros addressed why the clip of Charlie Kirk was included in the documentary, stating that it was unfortunate that some people in the film are no longer alive.
The documentary's release comes after Kanye West's murder, providing a poignant reflection on his life and the turbulent moments he experienced. West's fears about political violence and his safety, as well as his complex relationships and unpredictable behavior, are all on display in "In Whose Name?" A must-watch for any fan of Kanye West or those interested in the intersection of music, politics, and celebrity.
In a tragic twist, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian went on to get divorced in 2022, a fact also covered in the documentary. West's arguments with Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner about taking his medication for his bipolar disorder are also featured, offering a raw and unfiltered look into the musician's struggles.
"In Whose Name?" is a compelling and thought-provoking documentary that provides a unique perspective on the life of Kanye West. It serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and contradictions that often define famous figures, and the impact that their actions and words can have on the world.
