简介：年轻，天才和黑人！在一个自我授权的行动中，一群年轻的黑人，主要是来自加勒比地区的第一代和第二代移民，占据了多伦多地铁的公共空间，来表演他们的教育娱乐的鼓动概念——诗人、说唱歌手、歌手和音乐家。这部重要的实验性纪录片将节奏、文本和舞蹈感知为创造性作品的形式，共同反映和评论它们的身份。不同的声音聚集在一个文化对话中，包括传统和当代黑人音乐元素。这部电影的结构和剧本是基于嘻哈艺术家KrsOne创造的娱乐理念。参加活动的还有R.I.S.E.组织的成员，他们每周在多伦多的郊区社区机构举办诗歌大满贯活动。
Young, gifted and black! In an act of self-empowerment, a group of young Black people, mainly first and second generation immigrants from the Caribbean, have occupied the public space of the Toronto underground to perform their agitprop concept of edutainment – poets, rappers, singers and musicians. This vital, experimental documentary perceives rhythm, text and dance as forms of creative work that collectively reflect and comment about their identities. Diverse voices come together in a cultural dialogue that includes both traditional and contemporary elements of Black music. The structure and script of the film is based on the edutainment concept created by hip hop artist KRS-One. Also involved are members of the group R.I.S.E. (Reaching Intelligent Souls Everywhere), who organize a weekly poetry slam in suburban community institutions in Toronto.
