Rize

In the vibrant streets of South Central Los Angeles, two street-derived dance styles, Clowning and Krumping, have emerged as powerful forms of self-expression and escape from the harsh realities of gang life. Through a unique blend of documentary footage and interviews with its practitioners, Rize captures the raw energy and creative intensity of these young dancers, who are fighting to keep their culture alive amidst the violence and poverty that surrounds them.
