Stockholm Syndrome will be a 105-minute film that will reportedly cover A$AP Rocky’s experience at the Swedish prison through archival and live concert footage, interviews, and more.

Directed by The Architects, the documentary will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival as part of the Juneteenth programming. The footage will include appearances by A-list celebrities such as Naomi Campbell, Tyler the Creator, Kim Kardashian, A$AP Ferg, and more.

In 2019, A$AP Rocky spent over a month in Swedish jail following a brawl including himself, his entourage, and Sweden local, Mustafa Jafari which resulted in Jafari suffering several injuries. The incident made international headlines causing such a public outcry that former President Donald Trump and the rapper’s fans and fellow artists called out for his freedom.
