Netflix has revealed the first trailer for “jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy.”
The official synopsis describes “jeen-yuhs” as “a landmark documentary event presented in three acts from Clarence ‘Coodie’ Simmons and Chike Ozah…. an intimate and revealing portrait of Kanye West’s experience, showcasing both his formative days trying to break through and his life today as a global brand and artist.”
The documentary was directed by Chike Ozah and Clarence “Coodie” Simmons, who began filming Ye when he was still a 21-year-old rap producer living in Chicago. The duo continued to shoot footage of Ye over the course of two decades, capturing an unprecedented amount of private footage of West. Recently, the project has attracted some controversy, as Ye insisted that he has not approved of the documentary and publicly asked for final cut privileges. However, as of press time the documentary is set to release as previously scheduled.
Act 1 of jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy will debut in select theaters on Feb. 10, with the Netflix premiere set for February 16. Subsequent chapters will be released each Wednesday on the streaming service. You can watch the full trailer here.
