Slingshot Hip Hop - a documentary about Palestinian hiphop

Here’s another trailer for a Hip Hop documentary, this time coming out of Palestine instead of Pittsburgh. Slingshot HipHop is about the new Hip Hop movement coming out of Palestine over the last few years. Slightly dated (people can’t leave Gaza anymore, many of the buildings shown no longer exist, and the wall now closes the people in completely), but still looks amazing nonetheless. Will do my best to have a screening n Vancouver by the end of ‘09.
