    Latin American icon Ruben Blades was at the center of the New York Salsa revolution in the 1970s. His socially charged lyrics and explosive rhythms brought Salsa music to an international audience. Blades won 17 Grammys, acted in Hollywood, earned a law degree from Harvard and even ran for President of his native Panama. He lives in New York, where he granted exclusive access to his life at home and on tour. Critically acclaimed director Abner Benaim takes us on a journey through Blades's 50-year career, revealing that the singer might still have both musical and political ambitions. This is a film about a living legend and his struggle to come to terms with his legacy.
