The story of an inner-city Newark kid who attends Yale yet ultimately succumbs to harsh economic realities and the demons of his past.

Written and directed by Ejiofor, ROB PEACE is based on Jeff Hobbs’ bestselling and critically acclaimed work of non-fiction. Robert Peace grew up in an impoverished section of Newark and later graduated from Yale on scholarship. Peace led a dual life in academia earning degrees in molecular biophysics and biochemistry while also selling marijuana to aid his father who he believed was unjustly imprisoned for murder. Alongside Jay Will in the titular role, Chiwetel Ejiofor appears in front of the camera playing Peace's father Skeet Douglas. Academy Award nominee, Grammy and Emmy winner and Queen of R&B Mary J. Blige plays Peace's mother Jackie and award-winning artist Camila Cabello plays Naya, Peace's on-off girlfriend.
