Brooklyn-born John Forte was a Grammy-nominated musician in The 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 tour across Russia, this inspirational documentary takes us on Forte's personal journey—one that's as much about having his voice heard as having his music heard. |
