About this movie

Discover how Rene Perez, AKA Residente, evolved from struggling art student into the founder of Latin America’s most influential rap group, Calle 13, and became one of Latin America’s most outspoken critics of injustice and corruption. Inspired after mapping out his DNA, Residente left the group the peak of its success to embark on a new project through Siberia, the Caucasus, China and West Africa in order to trace the footsteps of his ancestors. Music becomes the primary focus, framing each destination and informing every conversation.

Ratings and reviews

4 por no tener subtítulo en español. De allí todo está excelente. No hay más palabras es una obra de arte que no verán en ningún cantante actual, nadie a echo algo así asta ahora.

Excellent documentary! Very rich in culture, diversity, history, and music (Real Music). It immerses you into the lives real people with different backgrounds. If you liked his new album, this documentary will give you more details on most of its songs and how they were made. The only con that I have is that it does not have subtitles in Spanish. I would have made two versions of this film, one English (as it is) and the other one in Spanish only for when Rene speaks. [Rene hablando en espanol con acento buricua le daria mas identidad al documental.]

Loved it! Especially when he give the audience the history lesson of Puerto Rico.
