Man Ooman

It doesn't get any better than this, a documentary from two of Copenhagens finest Rosforth & RasMoney, a film about Jamaican butt-shaking. A dancing style and flourishing subculture that exists in Jamaica and gets exported to the rest of the world through dvds, music videos and the internet. This documentary shows the environment from which the dance evolves and the gender roles that play out in the society around it. It premieres soon at the Copenhagen Documentray Film Festival CPH DOX

Dangerous colors

Mainly for our Scandinavian audience, here is a Norweigan TV documentary, in Norweigan language, from a few years ago called Farlige Farger (Dangerous Colors) featuring oldschooler Sean, railwayworkers and liveactions...

Infamy extras

Infamy is one of the best graffiti documentaries in the last few years. With an allstar lineup of featured artist including Saber, Jase, Claw, Toomer, Earsnot, Enem and even vigilante buffer Joe Connolly, its a must-watch for anybody interested in graffiti.
But it makes no sense that all this great, extra footage and interesting interviews ever taken out of the movie? This 30 minute clip is almost better than the movie itself...

Miami documentary

Miami graffiti documentary. Run clip!

The real Scarface

You probaly seen the Scarface movie featuring Al Pacino and his little friend. Well, here is a documentary about the real deal. No fancy Hollywood plotline, just the straight story of the Miami 1980's cocaine era.

Number one with a bullet!

New documentary coming out, about rappers getting shot! Many of today’s biggest rap stars have something in common besides successful careers: they’ve all been shot and have lived to rap about it. Their tales of gunplay, their reactions to the violence, and their changed attitudes after having survived near-death experiences are varied and always compelling.



FEATURING: Young Buck, Ice Cube, Mos Def, KRS-One, Obie Trice, Prodigy, Damon Dash, Fat Joe, Jerry Heller, Nikki Giovanni, 40 Glocc, and The Last Mr. Bigg. Directed by Jim Dziura

Like Stylewars, but about NYC gangs

80 Blocks From Tiffany's

This 1979 documentary film focuses on Puerto Rican gangs such as the Savage Skulls & Nomads who occupied areas of the South Bronx in the late 1970's. Amazing footage from an era long gone. Reminded me of the Stylewars documentary. Watch it here
