I watched David LaChapelle's "RIZE" (2004) last night.
It documents an evolving style of dance and exceptionally positive youth movement, rooted in South Central Los Angeles. Prefaced with a disclaimer that none of the dance footage has been sped up, "Rize‚" uses no voice over narration, opting instead to let the dancers and community speak for themselves. Juxtaposed with this are stunningly shot dance sequences, including stylized music video segments, a championship battle between Krumpers and Clowns, and much dancing in the streets of South Central LA.
I didn't know anything about this and really enjoyed it.
Any other good doc's?
