Frekuensia Kolombiana
Vanessa Goksch, 2006, 58 min.
Takes a look at the world of Colombian hip-hop and perhaps more interestingly its link to the exploration of an Afro Columbian legacy and tradition. Artists include Tribu Omerta, Por Razones de Estado, and Zona Marginal.

Democracy in Dakar
Magee, McIlvaine, Chris Moore, Ben Herson 2008, 69 min.
Democracy in Dakar is a groundbreaking documentary film about hip-hop youth and politics in Dakar Senegal. The film follows rappers, DJs, journalists, professors and people on the street at the time before during and after the controversial 2007 presidential election in Senegal and examines hip-hop’s role on the political process. Originally shot as a seven part documentary mini-series released via the internet – the documentary bridges the gap between hip-hop activism, video journalism and documentary film and explores the role of youth and musical activism on the political process.
MAYSLES CINEMA
343 Malcolm X Blvd / Lenox Ave (Between 127th and 128th Streets)
