Synopsis

The Furious Force of Rhymes is a blast of poetry and political consciousness – an inclusive ode to global hip hop. Featuring rap music in many styles and languages, this infectious documentary portrays a phenomenon born in inner-city America as it evolves into an international art form and channel of protest. Featuring bracing live performances and interviews, director Joshua Atesh Litle’s film illustrates the legacy of hip hop transformed by French and German immigrants, Palestinian youth and African feminists. –Abu Dhabi Film Festival
