The furious force of rhymes Tracing the cultures’ origins on the mean streets of New York City in the 1970’s, the film travels to the modern-day immigrant ghettos of Europe and into the third world cities of Africa, South Africa and Cuba. Filmed in stunning High-Definition video with dollies and cranes, the Furious Force… is a visually poetic art film about the worldwide afro-urban musical experience. The film transcends beautiful imagery alone, delving deep into the socio-political landscape of people’s lives. Using the lyrics of the artists as a jump-off point, the Furious Force… is a powerful meditation on poverty, racism, struggle and hope. It is also a vibrantly musical film, with performances and a soundtrack that radiates off the screen. It is the first major film about Hip-Hop both in and outside of the United States.   |Welcome|
