Estilo Hip Hop

"The characters in the film exemplified to us the true definition of a revolutionary leader. As filmmakers and immigrants from Latin America we were inspired by their commitment to justice and their unwillingness to compromise the truth in the face of poverty, racism and repressive military regimes." -- Vee Bravo & Loira Limbal

Chronicling the emergence of hip hop in Brazil, Chile, and Cuba, Estilo Hip Hop examines the regional politics that underscore the growth of hip hop's global appeal. Tribeca All Access(TAA) alumni Loira Limbal and Vee Bravo were in attendance for a special screening co-presented with 92YTribeca of their documentary on Wed, Feb 25 at 7:00 PM.  Phil Bertelsen, fellow TAA alumnus and mentor to the project was also in attendance and presented with the co-directors to discuss their process in approaching the film and its impact.

Against a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes are three hip hop enthusiasts, Guerrillero Okulto, Eli Efi and Magia, who all believe the music of the people can change the world.  As Estilo Hip Hop delves into their lives, the film explores the movements they lead in hip hop and the personal price they must pay because of their political stances.
