Exploding the myth that Hip-Hop is merely 'rap music,' "5 Sides of a
Coin" is an in-depth look at the worldwide phenomenon of Hip-Hop. Today
Hip-Hop is a multi-billion dollar industry and a socially relevant culture.
"5 Sides of a Coin" features exclusive interviews and footage of
Hip-Hopšs pioneers, insiders, critics and fans, including Afrika Bambaataa,
Grandmaster Flash, Jazzy Jay, Gil Scott-Heron, Run DMC, Jurassic 5, De La
Soul, Dilated Peoples, Beat Junkies, Q-Bert, Mix Master Mike, The Pharcyde,
DJ Spooky, The Stereo MC's and many, many more Hip-Hop artists interviewed
around the world. Their voices define the culture in their own words: the
good, the bad and the flossy. Embraced by a diverse cross-section of youth,
Hip-Hop is a powerful force, one that transcends its commercial trappings
and controversies, that stands alone as the number one youth movement in the
world. 80 / 55 minutes.
