Big Boi Among Executive Producers On Atlanta 1996 Olympics Documentary ‘We Ran The City’ 

EXCLUSIVE: Big Boi of the legendary rap duo Outkast is among the executive producers attached to We Ran The City, a feature documentary on the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. 

The film’s synopsis reads: “Atlanta 1996: We Ran The City delves into Atlanta’s dynamic and often tumultuous transformation during the years leading up to the 1996 Olympics. Through the eyes of a diverse cast, including hard-nosed law enforcement officers, controversial politicians, influential entrepreneurs, and notorious criminals, the documentary paints a vivid portrait of a city grappling with growth, crime, and political intrigue.

“From the relentless drive of Roderick Anderson, known as “The Terminator,” to the undercover exploits of Glen Cummings, and the high-stakes political landscape navigated by Mayors Bill Campbell and Kaseem Reed, each story reveals a unique facet of Atlanta’s rise. The narrative is enriched by the insights of Dr. Maurice Hobson, who provides a historical and social context to the city’s evolution.”
