Shot over a decade, Quest is a window into the life of an Obama-era African American family and their north Philly neighbourhood. Christopher “Quest” Rainey and his wife Christine’a, aka Ma Quest, open the door of their basement music studio to the community. Serving as a creative sanctuary, it plays host to Freestyle Fridays, where young MCs express their rage in rhyme. With limited options, the family confront the fear and tragedy of their circumstances with love, hope and music. If you liked Hoop Dreams, you'll love this tender, open-hearted look at good people reaching for better lives, quietly determined to beat the odds.
