Currently available for 30 days exclusively through Vimeo on Demand and hitting theaters on May 15 in Los Angeles at the TCL Chinese Theater, followed by national theatrical release is the globe-trotting film “Shake The Dust.”
From executive producer and Grammy-nominated rapper Nasir “Nas” Jones and journalist-turned-filmmaker Adam Sjöberg comes the buoyant, globe-trotting film SHAKE THE DUST.
Hip-hop music, and the acrobatic breakdancing culture that arose in tandem with it, may have started on the streets of The Bronx, but their reach is now decidedly worldwide. The film chronicles the influence of breakdancing, exploring how it strikes a resonant chord in the slums, favelas and ghettos of the world and far beyond with a universally-appealing energy.
With a propulsive soundtrack of international hip-hop sounds (from both emerging emcees and established superstars like Nas, Common and Talib Kweli), as well as some of the most jaw-dropping breakdancing moves ever committed to film, SHAKE THE DUST is an inspiring tribute to the uplifting power of music and movement. By highlighting the stories and moves of some of the most talented breakdance crews in the poorest urban neighborhoods of Colombia, Yemen, Uganda, and Cambodia, Sjöberg weaves together the stories of rappers, DJs, and b-boys across three continents, revealing how breakdancing today acts as a positive force for social change.
Following its theatrical release, BOND/360 will release SHAKE THE DUST on all VOD platforms including Itunes on May 19.
