From the pinnacle of fame to the depths of infamy, Milli Vanilli has one of the most remembered and rebuked stories in music history.
Comprised of Robert “Rob” Pilatus and Fabrice “Fab” Morvan, the Pop duo rose to global superstardom on the wings of hits like ‘Blame It On the Rain’ and ‘Girl, You Know It’s True’ – the latter of which earned them a GRAMMY and sold millions of records. Exposure for a headline-grabbing lip-syncing scandal would eventually see that award rescinded and the loyalty of legions of fans worldwide with it.
The untold story of Pilatus and the late Morvan is the subject of a feature-length documentary directed and produced by Luke Korem.
Lined with never-before-seen footage and interviews from the hitmakers themselves as well as record executives who were intentionally involved in the faux pas, the film seeks to redeem the legacy of the embattled 90’s stars.
