Pras Michél has partnered with Mark Wahlberg for a documentary centered on the life of the Fugees founder and his ongoing spy trial.

As Michél faces a potential 22-year prison sentence following a 2023 conviction on 10 charges including conspiracy, Wahlberg has reached an agreement with the musician-turned-politician to create a feature documentary about both the extensive criminal case and his rise with the Fugees.

“Everyone is fascinated by all the twists and turns, like it’s some kind of thriller,” Michél tells Variety, which first reported the story. “But for me, this is just my life — the real, messy, complicated truth of what I’ve been living through.”

The film will be produced under Wahlberg’s Unrealistic Ideas banner and will explore Michél’s musical legacy as well as the personal ramifications of navigating a high-profile legal case that resulted in a jury convicting him on 10 counts, including conspiracy, witness tampering, and failing to register as an unregistered foreign agent of China.

“I’m rooting for Pras and excited to tell his story,” Wahlberg told Variety. He’ll be producing the documentary alongside Unrealistic Ideas president Archie Gips, who described the story as “a surprising mix of pop culture and geopolitical intrigue that feels like a spy thriller come to life.”

Michél was first charged in this case in 2019 after being accused of channeling money from fugitive Malaysian financier Jho Low through straw donors to Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign. He was also alleged to have attempted to obstruct a Justice Department investigation into an extradition case on behalf of China during Trump’s first term.
