Lil Nas X Announces New Documentary Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero

The post Lil Nas X Announces New Documentary Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero appeared first on Consequence.

Lil Nas X is coming to the big screen with Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero, an upcoming documentary set to premiere this year at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival).

Directed by Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel, the documentary follows Lil Nas X — aka Montero Hill — as he embarks on the “emotional oddessy” that is the Grammy winner’s first-ever global tour. Aside from behind-the-scenes perspectives on his spectacular performances, the diaristic film also promises an intimate look at Lil Nas X as he explores his identity, family, expectations, and acceptance while also considering his role within the legacy of Black, queer performers.

“Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero is a triumphant ode to the extraordinary power of self-expression, music, and identity,” TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey said in a statement. “In this groundbreaking documentary, we witness Lil Nas X challenging boundaries and reshaping the artistic landscape. The film’s captivating journey underscores the profound impact of Lil Nas X, who fearlessly brings audiences together through the universal language of music. We are thrilled to host Lil Nas X at TIFF this year.”
