*Free* film screening -

Resistencia offers a rare look at the Hip Hop street subculture
in civil war-torn Colombia, while at the same time exploring how
traditional Latino music is being infiltrated by rap.

Following a summer in the lives of some of Colombia's finest
rappers, DJs and break-dancers, the film explores how young Colombians
feel about the crisis afflicting their country and the impact it has on
their lives. Caught between left wing guerillas and right wing
paramilitaries, these youths turn to rap as a way to express their
points of view on the realities forced upon them by long-running
violence, cultural crisis and the global cocaine trade.

Youthful and entertaining, but also angry and enlightening, Resistencia bears witness to how the Hip Hop culture has a major impact far from the "bling bling" of the U.S. music industry.
