The family of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk is voicing strong objections to the inclusion of footage from his private meeting with Kanye West in the new documentary In Whose Name?. They claim the filmmakers are exploiting Kirk’s image to make a profit, expressing profound anger and dismay at the usage of footage captured during a sensitive time.


Loved Ones Call Film ‘Disrespectful and Cruel’

In the wake of Kirk’s tragic passing, his family and friends are speaking out against the documentary, which features a private meeting held in 2018 between Kirk and West, alongside political commentator Candace Owens. Kirk was fatally shot at a student rally in Utah on September 10, 2025. His loved ones describe the decision to include him in the film as “disrespectful and cruel.”

A close friend of Kirk’s family stated, “Charlie is gone, and to drag him into Kanye’s world of controversies like this is shameless. They feel the filmmakers are exploiting his memory for headlines.”

Another confidant mentioned, “It was a private meeting between Charlie and Kanye that had nothing to do with the rapper’s controversies, and now his name is being splashed everywhere in connection with Charlie.”


Private Footage Fuels Anger

The documentary, directed by Nick Ballesteros, takes viewers through West’s life using personal recordings, including candid discussions on various cultural and political topics. The footage of Kirk situates him alongside West and Owens as they engage in high-profile debates.

Filmmaker Defends Decision

Despite the backlash, filmmaker Nick Ballesteros defends the decision to include Kirk’s footage, arguing that the film aims to explore the complex nature of West’s identity beyond sensational headlines. He noted, “I didn’t make this to tell a story of descent or unraveling. I made it to tell a beautiful, deep story of an American figure.”

Ballesteros emphasized that storytelling in today’s media landscape often oversimplifies intricate narratives, and he wishes for audiences to engage with the deeper layers of West’s persona. “I want it to be like a Rorschach test,” he added, indicating his intention for viewers to draw their interpretations from the film.

West Praises Film, Family Rejects It

Kanye West has praised the completed documentary, describing it as a “very deep” experience, akin to “being dead and looking back on [his] life.” In correspondence with Ballesteros, he expressed appreciation for the culmination of a narrative that resonates with his unique journey.

Nonetheless, Kirk’s family remains unswayed. They argue that the artistic vision of the filmmakers or West does not alleviate their concerns regarding the exploitation of Kirk’s image, stating, “To his loved ones, it’s using Charlie’s image to stir controversy and make money off a tragedy. It’s exploitation, plain and simple.”

As this controversy unfolds, it raises critical questions regarding the ethics of documentary filmmaking, particularly when involving sensitive and private matters.
