DOORS OFF

Set against the backdrop of Chicago, Doors Off follows the Chi Wrangler Crew (CWC), a Black American car club led by educators and mental health providers. The film offers an intimate look at how these individuals use their beloved Jeep Wranglers not just for adventure, but as symbols of resilience and healing—challenging stereotypes in the news media, creating safe spaces, and building community in a city marked by division.
