Common, the Academy Award, Emmy and Grammy-winning artist and actor, has joined Dana Nachman’s documentary short “The Second Life of Freddie Nole” as an executive producer, Variety can reveal exclusively.

According to an official logline, “‘The Second Life of Freddie Nole’ follows an extraordinary man on what initially appears to be an ordinary day. Freddie Nole drives to a Pennsylvania prison to pick up a man who has just been released, offering him a ride, a meal, clean clothes, and something far more valuable: the knowledge that someone is waiting for him. As the vérité road trip unfolds, audiences discover Freddie’s own remarkable history. Sentenced to life in prison at just seventeen years old, Freddie spent nearly fifty years behind bars before regaining his freedom.”
