South Coast the Movie
Posted on: December 2, 2008 | By mikeashworth | Views: | Comment
This small, self-funded indie film was lovingly shot over 5 years and paints a warm, human and funny portrait of hip hop being made for the sheer love, not through any drive to achieve a multi-million dollar lifestyle. It¿s a time capsule of hip hop¿s original spirit, essence and values. But the film isn¿t set in New York or grimy Inner City London ¿ it documents hip hop taking root and growing up in some weird and wonderful ways in the least likely of places¿¿..the seaside towns of southern UK. Because not every hoodie is carrying a knife and not every MC is espousing violence and greed. Maybe it¿s time to take another look at hip hop. Because this ain¿t East Coast. This ain¿t West Coast. This is South Coast. The movie
