A story about dreams and dreams shattered.
The Michael Monroe documentary is a story about dreams and shattering dreams. It tells the story of Matti Fagerholm’s journey from Finland to Michael Monroe, to the top of the rock world in the international limelight. The world and possibilities were open, until time and time again huge success was left a hair’s breadth away.
Nevertheless, Michael Monroe is the most successful Finnish rock star of all time. Michael’s success can’t be measured by sales figures alone. He is a talking point that has left an indelible mark on the rock world. To this day, many rock heavyweight superstars see him as their role model. Michael didn’t just come and go; he’s stayed to stay. Without characters like Michael, rock ’n’ roll would no longer exist.
