Filmmaker Minhal Baig, a graduate of North Side College Prep, is about to present a novel perspective on a notorious Chicago topic: life in the Cabrini-Green complex high-rises.
Her new movie “We Grown Now,” which shows the joys and hardships of growing up in public housing through the eyes of two 10-year-old boys, will have its U.S. premiere Oct. 11 at the Music Box Theatre as the opening film for the 59th Chicago International Film Festival.
