Will.i.am, Pitbull, Slash and More Join ‘Mi Familia: Sen Dog and the American Dream’ Doc About Cypress Hill’s Senen Reyes (EXCLUSIVE)

Production is underway on the new documentary “Mi Familia: Sen Dog and the American Dream,” which chronicles the life and career of Cypress Hill co-founder, Senen “Sen Dog” Reyes.

According to an official logline, “Mi Famillia” recounts “Sen’s untold American Dream story, from his family’s humble origins in Cuba to the gangland streets of South Central L.A. and hip-hop superstardom—how they escaped Cuba’s Communist Revolution only to survive a new nightmare when their adopted home of South L.A. was overrun by gang violence in the 1980s, and the extraordinary sequence of events that led to Cypress Hill.”

Among the doc’s participants are hip-hop and rock icons like B-Real, Slash, Chuck D, DMC, George Clinton, Will.i.am, Emilio Estefan, Pitbull and DJ Matt Pinfield.

“’Mi Familia’ is a truly unique experience that reconnects me with my Cuban roots and our family’s musical legacy, which stretches back many generations,” Reyes said. “It also brings me closer to so many musical icons who have played a part in breaking barriers and blending genres and cultures, and I feel deeply honored to have them featured throughout my journey in this film.”

Reyes co-wrote “Mi Familia” and produced with Christina Banker for Freedom Village Films. Director Christian Jean also co-wrote the doc and serves as producer under the Bon Accord Picture Company banner. Sam Okun serves as executive producer.

Reyes debuted the iconic rap posse Cypress Hill in 1991 along with B-Real (Louis Freese) and producer DJ Muggs (Lawrence Muggerud). They were later joined by percussionist Eric “Bobo” Correa in 1994. The group was a staple of the West Coast hip-hop scene through the late ‘80s and ‘90s, known for their aggressive, bass-heavy sound and unapologetic affinity for smoking weed. Reyes is also the founder of metal bands SX-10 and Powerflo.

Reyes and Cypress Hill are represented by The Team and Primary Wave; Freedom Village Films and Bon Accord Picture Company are repped by Rosen Law Group; Okun is repped by CAA and Lathem & Watkins, along with Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
