In the rags to riches portrait of the year, director Gabriel Noble follows four years in the career of up-and-coming nine-year-old rapper Priscilla Diaz as she struggles to turn her and her father’s dreams into a reality.
Years after his once promising career fails, former hip-hop star Jesse Diaz gets one last shot at redemption, only this time vicariously through his incredibly talented daughter. Adopting the stage name “P-Star,” Priscilla sets out on the road to fame and fortune, hoping to make it in the music biz. Drawing on inspiration from her own life – her mother’s drug addition, her father’s pressure for her to be the main family breadwinner – P-Star builds an energetically powerful and inspired body of music that just might earn her a place at the top. Documentary Gabriel Noble is quickly making an admirable career for himself directing powerful documentaries about extraordinary children.
An accomplished sophomore feature, P-Star Rising is an uplifting story of second chances and fathers-daughter relationships. Brimming with amazing lyrical stylings and rich character, this victorious tale is a life-affirming documentary powerhouse that reminds us that sometimes dreams really do come true. –– Michael Lerman
