Fugees at 21 and a federal prison
inmate at 26. When his prison
sentence was remarkably commuted
in 2008, Forte was given a second
chance to share his talents with
the world. Chronicling his concert

inspirational documentary takes us
on Forte's personal journey-one
that's as much about having his

Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Steven
Soderbergh, Lars Von Trier, and
