Bouncing Cats [free screening, hip hop, b-boy, children, Uganda, documentary] December 4, 2010

The award-winning film by Nabil Elderkin centers on one man's attempt to create a better life for the children of Uganda through hip hop and breakdance - with narration by Common, featuring b-boy Abramz and the legendary Crazy Legs of the Rock Steady Crew + interviews with Will.I.Am, K'Naan and more. Crazy Legs, one of the founding members of the world famous Rock Steady Crew, visited Uganda after receiving an invitation from Abramz to teach b-boy classes. What he discovered upon his arrival was both heartbreaking and inspiring. Traveling throughout Uganda, from the southern slums to the war-torn north, Crazy Legs encountered a passion for hip hop and desire to learn amongst youth living in the most squalid conditions.

After only a few short months on the festival circuit, the film by director Nabil Elderkin has already won "Best Documentary Feature Film" at the Urbanworld Film Festival in New York; "Outstanding Achievement in Documentary Filmmaking" at the Newport Beach Film Festival; and "Audience Favorite Award" at DocUtah - Southern Utah International Documentary Film Festival.
