A documentary film that highlights two street derived dance styles, Clowning and Krumping, that came out of the low income neighborhoods of L.A.. Director David LaChapelle interviews each dance crew about how their unique dances evolved. A new and positive activity away from the drugs, guns, and gangs that ruled their neighborhood. A raw film about a growing sub-culture movements in America.

“You better clown right.”

This was special for sure, California history literally. This did feel a bit all over the place but I really enjoyed it, a lot of good quotes especially at the end. And the lighting like holy shit. In that final sequence that was um actually insane??? David LaChapelles eye for lighting is mainey.
