Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le is a 2016 American biographical drama television film directed by Janice Cooke, written by Dianne Houston, and starring Rhyon Nicole Brown as Michel'le, Curtis Hamilton as Dr. Dre and Jamie Kennedy as N.W.A's manager Jerry Heller. The film is based on the true story of R&B singer Michel'le. The omission of Michel'le's involvement in the lives of Dre in N.W.A's 2015 biopic, Straight Outta Compton, gave her an opportunity to tell her story as a former artist on Eazy-E's Ruthless Records.
The film premiered on Lifetime on October 15, 2016.
