Inside The Circle UK PREMIERE
Dir: Marcy Garriott
Documentary, 35mm, 101 mins, USA, 2007
Capturing the raw power of a grassroots hip-hop movement, the
award-winning documentary INSIDE THE CIRCLE tells the story of two
strikingly talented b-boys, Josh and Omar, former best friends who
become dance floor rivals. Immersed in the b-boy culture of defiant
creativity, Omar rises to international renown, while Josh tangles with
the law. Both of them struggle to keep dance at the centre of their
lives, and the "B-Boy City" competitive events thrown by visionary
street dancer Romeo Navarro serve as emotional milestones in their
journey to adulthood. Facing off in intense dance battles that mirror
the larger events in their lives, Josh and Omar seek meaning and
identity "inside the circle." As Romeo aptly observes: "If you can hold
yourself down in battle, you can hold yourself down in life.”
