Resistencia offers a rare look
at the Hip Hop street subculture in civil war-torn Colombia, while at the same
time exploring how traditional Latino music is being infiltrated by rap.
Following a summer in the lives of some of Colombia's finest
rappers, DJs and break-dancers, the film explores how young Colombians feel about
the crisis afflicting their country and the impact it has on their lives. Caught
between left wing guerillas and right wing paramilitaries, these youths turn to
rap as a way to express their points of view on the realities forced upon them
by long-running violence, cultural crisis and the global cocaine trade.
Youthful and entertaining, but also angry and enlightening, Resistencia
bears witness to how the Hip Hop culture has a major impact far from the "bling
bling" of the U.S. music industry. |
