Synopsis

IT'S A SOUL THING

Lauryn Hill is the mighty force behind a hip-hop revolution. Her critically acclaimed solo debut album has sold millions of copies, earned her 5 Grammys, and placed her in the heart of the millennium's musical landscape.

The performer who is single-handedly rescripting the role of women in hip-hop is also one of the most intriguing people in music today. After singing her way through elementary school and junior high, she teamed up with buddies Wyclef and Pras to form the Fugees. Lauryn's searing vocals on the track "Killing Me Softly" became a defining sound of the '90s. But it is her poise, drive, and strength of character that propelled Lauryn to the top. HEART OF SOUL details her childhood and the family that shaped her, the life-changing experiences she had touring with the Fugees while still a teen, and the inspiring role her two children played in her skyrocketing solo career.

Lauryn Hill is a resounding success as a singer, an actress, and the voice of a generation. Now HEART OF SOUL takes you inside the dazzling world of this beautiful, amazing woman!
