\n\tPras Mich\u00e9l<\/a> has linked with Mark Wahlberg for a documentary focused on the Fugees<\/a> founder\u2019s life and ongoing spy trial.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs Mich\u00e9l faces 22 years behind bars following a 2023 conviction on 10 charges including conspiracy, Wahlberg has struck a deal with the musician-turned-politician to make a feature documentary on both the sprawling criminal case and his rise in the Fugees.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEveryone is fascinated by all the twists and turns, like it\u2019s some kind of thriller,\u201d Mich\u00e9l tells Variety<\/a><\/em>, who broke the story. \u201cBut for me, this is just my life \u2014 the real, messy, complicated truth of what I\u2019ve been living through.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film will be produced under Wahlberg\u2019s Unrealistic Ideas banner and will investigate Mich\u00e9l\u2019s musical legacy as well as the personal impact of navigating a high-profile legal proceeding that resulted in a jury finding him guilty on 10 counts, including conspiracy, witness tampering and failing to register as an unregistered foreign agent of China.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m rooting for Pras and excited to tell his story,\u201d Wahlberg told Variety<\/em>. He\u2019ll be creating the documentary alongside Unrealistic Ideas president Archie Gips, who called the story, \u201ca surprising mix of pop culture and geopolitical intrigue that feels like a spy thriller come to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMich\u00e9l was first charged in the case in 2019<\/a> after he was accused of funneling money from fugitive Malaysian financier Jho Low through straw donors to Obama\u2019s 2012 re-election campaign. He was also accused of trying to help scuttle a Justice Department investigation into an extradition case on behalf of China during Trump\u2019s first term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
