The documentary is directed by Cristina Costantini, who serves as a producer alongside R.J. Cutler, Elise Pearlstein, Trevor Smith, Kristofer Ríos, Alex Simmons, and Mariem Pérez. Mark Blatty, Margaret Yen, John Janick, and Nir Seroussi also join as Executive Producers.
'Karol G was told her dream was too big, that she was the wrong gender, and from the wrong place, to ever be a global star,' a synopsis of the documentary notes. 'But only fools bet against a Bichota.'
The film traces Karol G's beginnings in Medellín, Colombia along her journey to international stardom, including the release of chart-topping albums such as 2023's Mañana Será Bonito (the first all-Spanish-language album by a woman to top the Billboard 200) and its accompanying record-breaking tour.
'I told the team, 'I have this idea. Let's do a stadium tour,'' she remembers in the trailer. 'The first stadium tour by a Latin artist in history. And everyone started like, 'Caro, no.'' Karol G's instinct ultimately paid off, with her 65-date trek grossing $313.3 million and selling 2.3 million tickets to become the highest-grossing Latin tour of all time by a female artist.
'Since I was a child, people told me: 'Karol, this dream is not for you,'' she adds in the trailer. Paired with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and in-depth interviews with Karol G and those close to her, Karol G: Tomorrow Was Beautiful traces an entire career spent defying the odds to reach dizzying new heights.
'It's a rare look at the unique determination, raw talent, and relentless work ethic that has launched Karol G to superstardom and paved a path for future generations of Latinas,' the synopsis concludes.

£60m Liverpool star will be PUSHED aside for Florian Wirtz
Where does Slot plan on using Wirtz? Liverpool are planning an attacking overhaul which could open gaps in several areas of the team. For example, if Luis Diaz leaves then Wirtz could conceivably be named as a left-sided attacker. He is not quite a winger in the same sense as the Colombian but he could certainly line up 'from' the left. Advertisement He could also fill in up top like Diaz did as a false 9; linking the play together and helping to catapult Mohamed Salah, Jeremie Frimpong and others into advanced attacking positions. Slot may opt to use Wirtz in several different positions given his skillset. But according to a new report from Germany there is one Reds' Premier League title winner in particular under THREAT from Wirtz's arrival. © IMAGO Wirtz 'will push' Szoboszlai out of No10 'The signing of Wirtz will also push former Leipzig player and €70 million acquisition Dominik Szoboszlai (24) into another position,' a report in Kicker reads. Advertisement The Hungarian was challenged to put up better numbers for goals and assists early in Arne Slot's first season. The 24-year-old ended up with six goals and six assists in 36 Premier League outings - not a mindblowing total for a player in his position. It must be added that Szoboszlai gets through a lot of work covering Salah, but Wirtz's arrival suggests his place as No10 in the team is at risk. © Anfield Watch Arne Slot will build around Wirtz Maybe Slot will utilise him further back? That would likely require Alexis Mac Allister or Ryan Gravenberch to drop out of the team. And Szoboszlai doesn't really have the weapons to threaten as a wide man in this Liverpool attack.
