Mark Wahlberg to Produce Pras Michél Documentary on 1MDB-Tied Case

The project follows the Fugees rapper’s 2023 conviction with sentencing still pending.

Overview

  • Produced by Wahlberg’s Unrealistic Ideas, the feature will trace Michél’s rise in music and his high-profile legal saga.
  • Unrealistic Ideas president Archie Gips and crisis publicist-turned-producer Erica Dumas are attached as producers.
  • The film will incorporate phone footage shot by Michél, including a meeting in China with a senior CCP official later sentenced to death for bribery.
  • Michél was convicted in 2023 on 10 counts, including conspiracy, witness tampering, and acting as an unregistered foreign agent, and he faces up to roughly 22 years in prison.
  • Sentencing has been delayed multiple times, including an Oct. 3 hearing, following his emergency colon surgery and as reporting suggests President Trump is considering a pardon.
