French Montana Doc Lined Up At Paramount+
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: A documentary about rapper French Montana has landed at Paramount+. The French Montana Story: For Khadija will launch on the streaming service on November 19.
This comes after it premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last year. The doc, directed by Mandon Lovett, tells the unlikely story of the Moroccan born, diamond-selling recording artist as his single mother sacrifices everything to raise her three young sons in the Bronx, after being abandoned by their father and left destitute.
It depicts his family’s immigrant journey, a son’s perseverance in the face of insurmountable obstacles, and a mother’s unwavering faith — all in pursuit of the American dream.
French Montana, otherwise known as Karim Kharbouch, was born and raised in Morocco before immigrating to the U.S. at 13. He made his name in New York through a series of DVDs called Cocaine City before becoming a musician and signing to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Bad Boy Records, Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group and Interscope Records.
