Sundance 2024: ‘Rob Peace’ is a Inspirational Story of Real Change

Talented British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor returned to the 2024 Sundance Film Festival with this second feature film. After premiering his first film The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind at Sundance in 2019, Ejiofor brought his second film Rob Peace to the festival in the Utah mountains. It’s an inspirational, engaging dramatic thriller based on a true story about a young African-American man who made it into Yale and was on the rise in the field of science. His name is Rob Peace, yes his real name is Robert Peace, that’s not just a Hollywood title for this film about an intelligent man from New Jersey who went out to make real change in the world by taking care of his own community. It’s a well-made film about injustice and family ties and the cycle of violence in Black communities in America. There’s a few generic tropes but the emotional core is so strong I was moved anyway. Ejiofor has improved with his second film and this one should go on to have a great life beyond the festival. It deserves to connect with audiences and inspire them to make actual change. // Continue Reading ›
