WHERE YOU FROM -- Northwest Tracking Screening May 6, 2010

DIRECTOR: SABRINA LEE / BOZEMAN, MT
US, 2009

This surprising journey into rural American hip-hop follows a beat far from the urban streets where the music was born. We meet Franco from Fortuna, California, who hopes to win the top prize at Scribble Jam, the hip-hop competition that helped launch Eminem; Tommy 2 Tone from Livingston, Montana, who is fighting addiction and legal problems as he tries to make his music and become a good father and husband; and Chris from Bozeman, Montana, who is still seeking closure in his relationship with his estranged alcoholic father. Sabrina Lee’s film is a visually stunning, provocative portrait of young men confronting small town life, broken families, and drug addiction, and ultimately seeking triumph in their music.
