"The Boy from Medellín" is a documentary film directed by Matthew Heineman and tells the story of Colombian reggaeton singer J Balvin as he prepares for a highly anticipated homecoming concert in Medellín, Colombia, amid intense political turmoil. The film follows Balvin as he grapples with the weight of his fame and his responsibility to his fans and his country. Balvin's concert is scheduled to take place just days after Colombia's presidential election, which has polarized the country and sparked widespread protests. As tensions boil over in the streets of Medellín, Balvin is faced with the difficult decision of whether to cancel his concert or use his platform to speak out. Through exclusive access to Balvin's rehearsals, interviews, and intimate moments with his family and friends, the film explores the story of a young man who rose from poverty and violence to become one of the biggest stars in Latin music.
