About this movie

RIZE is an intimate completely fresh portrayal of inner-city youth who have created art--and often family--where before there was none. Surrounded by drug addiction, gangs and impoverishment, they have developed a completely unique style of dance that evolves on a daily basis. Through tremendous spirit and creativity, they manage to rise above.

But it's not this movie. This is about dancing, mainly - but more. It's beautiful, see it! From Wikipedia: "Rize is a documentary following an interview schedule of two related dancing subcultures of Los Angeles: clowning and krumping. The documentary is divided into three distinct sections. The first series of interviews introduces and develops the clowning dance style. The second series explains how the dance style, krumping, evolved from the original clowning and matured into its own identity."

This movie gives you a keen insight into krumping. Invented by black youths to express themselves through dance instead of the violence of the streets. A must see! A positive enjoy!
