Fighting Wars With Music and Art

Katibe 5: Rapping Against Occupation from Cultures of Resistance on Vimeo.


“Out this week on DVD, director Iara Lee's new documentary, Cultures of Resistance, serves as a sharp reminder that at any given moment, a sobering portion of the world is embroiled in political turmoil. The film hops us from one fraught location to the next, showing the graphic truths of oppression, civil war, and industrialization. Lee's purpose, though, is not to send you into a permanent funk, but to highlight artistic forms of resistance and protest all over the globe.”
