The Landmark Theater, L.A.


About the Screening

Music and politics collide when international music star, Pras Michel of the Fugees, returns to his homeland of Haiti following the devastating earthquake of 2010, to find a country paralysed by a corrupt government .With no experience or money, he mobilises a presidential campaign for Haiti's most controversial cross-dressing musician: Michel Martelly, aka Sweet Micky. The politically inexperienced pair set out against a corrupt government, civil unrest, and the fear of a fixed election. When Pras' former bandmate, superstar Wyclef Jean, also enters the presidential race, their chances seem further doomed. But with the help of a few friends, including Ben Stiller and former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Pras and Micky refuse to give up on their honest dream of changing the course of Haiti's future forever.
