Lil Nas X's 'Long Live Montero' Documentary: An Intimate Journey of Transformation

The film, initially unplanned, evolved into a profound exploration of the artist's life, struggles, and bond with his fans.

Lil Nas X's documentary, 'Long Live Montero', provides an intimate look into his life, including his struggles with his sexuality and his relationship with his family.
The documentary was initially not planned to be a full-length film, but evolved naturally as the filmmakers followed Lil Nas X on his first tour.
The film captures the transformation of Lil Nas X as he navigates his meteoric rise to fame and his place in the pantheon of Black queer icons.
The documentary also highlights the strong bond between Lil Nas X and his fans, who see him as a resistance to commercial, heteronormative standards.
The film is not just a concert film, but uses the concert as the backbone of an experience that Montero was going through for 60 days at this particular time in his life.
