Michael Monroe documentary (S) – Wednesday movie

The Michael Monroe documentary is a story about dreams and how they shatter.

It tells the story of Matti Fagerholm's journey from Kekkonen-era Finland to become Michael Monroe, the top star of the rock world in international limelight. The world was his oyster, but time and time again, the big break was just a hair’s breadth short. Michael Monroe remains the most successful Finnish rock star of all time. Michael's success cannot be measured by sales figures alone. He is a talking point that has left an indelible mark on the world of rock. Several rock heavyweight superstars still see him as a role model. Michael didn't just come and go, he's here to stay. Without characters like Michael, rock ’n’ roll would no longer exist.
