From the get-go, this boundary-breaking artist, born Montero Lamar Hill, bravely busted through some rigid genres, fusing country and hip hop on his first single, Old Town Road, and he’s still just 24 years old. This documentary explores the phenomenal rise of this Black, gay superstar — or is that gay, Black superstar … or, hopefully, one day, just superstar. “The resultant film features spectacular tour footage and fascinating glimpses of life backstage, interwoven with Montero pre-fame — even then, his vision and ambition were clear,” reads the synopsis.
