Hip Hop for Hope

Amman, Jordan

I've been waiting for this film to come out. It's being shown now at film festivals all over the US, Europe and the Middle East, including Sundance, and I'm hoping to go see it next week here in Amman, to be followed by Q&A by the group DAM, who feature prominently in the film and Palestinian hip hop generally.
