At first glance, Pete Monsanto Jr. lives a glamorous life: a celebrity photographer who works with Meek Mill, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, etc. But look deeper and you will see a man with an ad-sized hole in his life. Pete was just five years old when his father was sentenced to life without parole for racketeering. Pete is now the same age his dad was when he was sent away. During his incarceration, Pete’s father runs every day in the prison yard, keeping his mind and body sharp. Inspired by his dad, Pete decides to run the NYC marathon. Pete’s personal story, the special bond he shares with his incarcerated dad, and his experience with the 26-mile race are the subject of Run For His Life.
