Listen to My Song (2020) (trailer)

Esteban escaped poverty in the ghetto when he was thirteen, by running away from home and joining the FARC guerrilla movement in Colombia.

With the peace process underway Esteban’s life changes when he performs at a Peace Concert and is spotted by a famous Colombian producer.
