October 23, 2024 – Paramount+ today announced that the new documentary THE FRENCH MONTANA STORY will premiere exclusively on the service in the U.S. and Canada on Tuesday, November 19 and Wednesday, November 20 in the U.K. and Australia, with further international markets to follow. Try Paramount+ for FREE at ParamountPlus.com.


Produced by Live Nation Productions for MTV Entertainment Studios and directed by Mandon Lovett, the film chronicles the unlikely rise of Moroccan born, diamond-selling recording artist, French Montana as his single mother sacrifices everything to raise her three young sons in the Bronx, after being abandoned by their father and left destitute. The film spans the globe as it depicts the family’s unique 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; it is a timeless hero’s journey with a modern day, hip-hop twist.

“This is the best project I’ve ever worked on in my life,” said Montana. “It’s the first blueprint of an immigrant’s music dream, proving that anything is possible and it’s not about the awards, it’s about what we learn from the losses and sacrifices.”

THE FRENCH MONTANA STORY is directed by Mandon Lovett and executive produced by Michael Rapino and Ryan Kroft for Live Nation Productions alongside Karim “French Montana” Kharbouch for Montana Entertainment.
