E4L: Slingshot HipHop screening

Join us for a screening of Slingshot HipHop, a 2008 documnetry tracing the history and development of Palestinian hip hop, from the time DAM pioneered the art form in the late 1990s.

Slingshot Hip Hop braids together the stories of young Palestinians living in Gaza, the West Bank and inside Israel as they discover Hip Hop and employ it as a tool to surmount divisions imposed by occupation and poverty. From internal checkpoints and Separation Walls to gender norms and generational differences, this is the story of young people crossing the borders that separate them.

Be there!
