About the film:
In Buenaventura, the main port city of Colombia's Pacific coast, a young Afro-descendant leader uses rap as a tool to confront violence and build peace. With fellow musicians and poets, he supersedes the social complexities of his hometown in the name of a more unified community. Together, they’re rapping their way towards a better future for all.
