BOUNCING CATS Screening:
Bouncing Cats is the inspiring story of one man's attempt to create a better life for the children of Uganda using the unlikely tool of hip-hop with a focus on b-boy culture and breakdance. The founder, Abraham "Abramz" Tekya's dream was to establish a free workshop that would empower, rehabilitate, and heal the community by teaching youth about b-boy culture.
Crazy Legs, a founding member of the world famous Rock Steady Crew, visited Uganda after receiving an invitation from Abramz to teach b-boy classes. Bouncing Cats follows Abramz, Crazy Legs, and Breakdance Project Uganda on a journey to use hip-hop culture for positive social change.
The film features narration by Common and interviews with Mos Def, Will.I.Am, and K'Naan.
