The Honorable Shyne

This documentary chronicles the extraordinary journey of Moses “Shyne” Barrow, a Grammy-winning artist who later ventured into politics. In the late 1990s, Shyne was a rising rap talent until his career was abruptly halted due to his involvement in a notorious New York nightclub shooting alongside music mogul Sean “Puffy” Combs. While Combs was acquitted, Shyne was convicted in 2001 and received a ten-year prison sentence. Upon his release, Shyne returned to Belize, where he shifted his focus from music to politics, eventually becoming the Leader of the Opposition Party. His story is one of redemption, resilience, and transformation. The film offers an intimate exploration of Shyne’s personal growth as he navigates the challenges of fame, imprisonment, and his return to Belize, where he discovers a new sense of purpose and aspires to guide his nation toward a more promising future.
