Welcome to the International world of "b-boying," the New York street dance, also known as breakdancing, which has become a medium of expression for young people around the world. Unfolding against the vivid backdrops of Osaka, Paris, Seoul and Las Vegas are the stories of young men who struggle to realize their dreams despite the misunderstanding of society and their families. The b-boys' lives collide in Germany where their skills are put to the ultimate test as crews from 18 nations vie for the World Champion title. English. Rated PG-13. 95 minutes. Funding provided in part by Vanderbilt Student Government and the Multicultural Leadership Council. Join us for a Hip Hop Dance Demo immediately following the screening!
