At first glance, Repeter ‘Pete’ Monsanto lives a glamorous life – a celebrity photographer who works with boldface names like Meek Mill, Rick Ross, Ludacris, Nicki Minaj, Big Sean and others. When he was just six years old, Pete’s father, Peter Monsanto, was arrested and convicted of racketeering and sentenced to life without parole. This documentary examines how Monsanto and his father have worked to maintain a long distance relationship and how they connect through running. Inspired by his father’s strength and resilience, Pete will run the 2018 NYC marathon.
