Drake will be on hand for the TIFF opening-night Canadian premiere of Monsters and Men, a tale about police killing a Black man and the consequences for his community, the Toronto International Film Festival announced Thursday.
Toronto’s rap star was an executive producer of the movie, which stars BlacKkKlansman’s John David Washington and is the feature-film directing debut by writer Reinaldo Marcus Green. The festival describes the film as a “provocative portrait of a community responding to crisis” about police violence and “systemic corruption.”
