Congratulations to Primary Wave writer John Forte, whose film “The Russian Winter” will premier at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival!
The Russian Winter
Directed by Petter Ringbom
Brooklyn-born John Forte was a Grammy-nominated musician in The Fugees at 21 and a federal prison inmate at 26. When his prison sentence was remarkably commuted in 2008, Forte was given a second chance to share his talents with the world. Chronicling his concert tour across Russia, this inspirational documentary takes us on Forte’s personal journey – one that’s as much about having his voice heard as having his music heard.
