NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND
REX Kino Ticketshop
The film follows MCs, breakdancers, turntablists, and graffiti artists as they navigate the social, political, and cultural landscape of their city. At the heart of the movement is Knowledge of Self, the fifth element of Hip Hop, which in Cape Town becomes a means to reclaim indigenous culture, rewrite erased histories, and forge new identities in the aftermath of colonialism and apartheid. Through personal stories from different generations and neighborhoods, the film reveals how Hip Hop has transcended music to become a powerful tool for self-discovery, activism, spiritual awareness and community empowerment.
