Netflix has set a May 8 premiere doc for Tomorrow Was Beautiful, its documentary on Colombian music superstar Karol G, also unveiling a first trailer, which you can view above.
Hailing from director Cristina Costantini (Mucho Mucho Amor) and R.J. Cutler’s This Machine (a part of Sony Pictures Television), the doc tells the story of an artist who was told her dream was too big, that she was the wrong gender, and from the wrong place, to ever be a global star, disproving each assertion. The doc traces Karol’s rise from humble beginnings in Medellín to international stardom, as she proves the critics wrong with an electrifying, record-breaking stadium tour.
The film’s producers are Cutler, Elise Pearlstein, Trevor Smith, Cristina Costantini, Kristofer Ríos, Alex Simmons, and Mariem Pérez. Mark Blatty, Margaret Yen, John Janick, and Nir Seroussi served as executive producers.
Known for her synthesis of reggaeton, Latin trap, and pop, Colombian singer-songwriter Karol G broke out with her 2017 debut album Unstoppable and her 2019 hit “Tusa” featuring Nicki Minaj. The artist followed these successes up with Mañana Será Bonito, which made history in 2023 as the first all-Spanish-language album by a female artist to debut at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200. The winner of two Grammys, she also made history with her Mañana Será Bonito World Tour, the highest-grossing Latin tour by a female artist to date.
Costantini is a Critics Choice Documentary and News & Documentary Emmy Award winner best known for Netflix’s Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado, a doc she co-directed on the famed astrologer of the same name. Most recently, she directed Sally on trailblazing astronaut Sally Ride, which won the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize in its world premiere at Sundance.
Recent This Machine projects include the three-part documentary event Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series (Apple TV+) as well as the docs Martha (Netflix) and Elton John: Never Too Late (Disney+). Upcoming, they also have the feature doc Lee Soo Man: King of K-Pop at Amazon.
