Résumés(1)
Unlike any other hip-hop documentary to date, Soundz of Spirit is a riveting feature-length documentary film that explores the relationship between the creative process and spirituality in hip-hop culture. Both revealing and inspiring, Soundz of Spirit features powerful performances and in-depth interviews with a diverse group of hip-hop artists, including MCs, DJs, poets, producers, and dancers. Featured in Soundz of Spirit are Andre 3000 (Outkast), Common, Cee-Lo, KRS-1, Talib Kweli, Blackalicious, Nappy Roots, Jurassic 5, Zion I, Dilated Peoples, The Last Poets, Aceyalone, Mystic, DJ Q-Bert, Living Legends, Saul Williams, Medusa, Goapele, Michael Franti and many others. Venturing into uncharted territory, Soundz of Spirit draws the connections between the creative freedom and the spiritual outlet that are provided by hip-hop culture for the current generation. The documentary captures artists in their moments of inspiration and takes in-depth looks into their creative process, from conception to completion. While many of the artists featured hail from the West Coast's underground scene, all of them are fiercely independent creative forces, and their contributions toward elevating hip-hop to a truly revolutionary worldwide movement is brilliantly showcased. While negative images of hip-hop are constantly portrayed in mainstream media, Soundz of Spirit highlights the culture's positive strengths, expressing messages concerning creativity, spirituality and activism.
