Led by Chuck D of Public Enemy, Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World traces the genre’s political awakening and its role as a powerful conduit for social consciousness. Featuring rap icons, cultural commentators and inspiring stories, the documentary underscores how Hip Hop has emerged to tell the stories of our communities.
In harmony with the themes of Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World, Flow Fusion provides a platform to explore various facets of Hip Hop, including graffiti art, dance, lyrics, DJ skills and album cover art.
