Didn't know where to put this. I used to show this film to inner city teens a few years back and we'd open it up for dialogue. Captivating if you're into the hip hop culture or want to understand it more. >
Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes is a 2006 documentary film written, produced, and directed by Byron Hurt. The documentary explores the issues of masculinity, violence, homophobia and sexism in hip hop music and culture, through interviews with artists, academics and fans. Hurt's activism in gender issues and his love of hip-hop caused him to feel what he described as a sense of hypocrisy, and began working on the film.
