This **New York Times Critics' Pick**, filmed with v?rit? intimacy for nearly a decade, is a moving portrait of the Rainey family living in North Philadelphia. Beginning at the dawn of the Obama presidency, Christopher "Quest" Rainey, and his wife, Christine'a "Ma Quest" raise a family while nurturing a community of hip hop artists in their home music studio. It's a safe space where all are welcome, but this creative sanctuary can't always shield them from the strife that grips their neighborhood. Epic in scope, QUEST, is a vivid illumination of race and class in America, and a testament to love, healing and hope. Official Selection at the **Sundance Film Festival** and **Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival**. *"An intimate and patient portrait of a North Philadelphia family [...] I?ve rarely seen a movie about citizenship as quietly eloquent as QUEST." - **The New York Times***
