(The 2011 Israeli housing protests, which are also referred to by various other names in the media, are a series of ongoing demonstrations in Israel beginning in July 2011 involving hundreds of thousands of protesters from a variety of socio-economic and religious backgrounds opposing the continuing rise in the cost of living in Israel, and particularly the relatively high housing prices in Israel as well as the lack of affordable housing solutions in the country.
As the protests expanded, the demonstrations began to also focus on other issues, such as the deteriorating state of the Israeli education system, the indirect costs of raising children and issues relating to the social order in Israel.)

They wanted to hear directly from them how hip hop was affecting the Arab uprisings and how the momentous events that were sweeping across North Africa and the Middle East were inspiring them to write music. The Nomadic Wax team, made up of DJ Magee, DJ Nio, and British journalist Rose Hackman bring you an original mix of in-depth reporting and authentic Arab and Arab-American sounds and perspectives, giving you the story behind the music – or rather the music behind the story.

Incredible Hip Hop documentary premieres on ARTE
Whatever your preconceptions about Hip-Hop may be, throw them out the window.
THE FURIOUS FORCE OF RHYMES explodes the stereotypes of swagger and bravado to reveal an irresistible unifying force of global significance. Lushly photographed, bursting with music and dance, this powerful documentary carries you away on a trans-national Hip-Hop Road Movie.
Startling and provocative, with an uplifting message of hope and reconciliation, it reveals how a single genre of music connects people as diverse as American Blacks, East German Skinheads, Israeli Jews, Palestinians, African Feminists and French Banlieusards. Alternately exuberant, moving and humorous, THE FURIOUS FORCE OF RHYMES is a stirring chronicle of the combustible intersection between politics and art.
The film features, among others:
Q-Tip, Dead Prez, The Last Poets, Special Ed, D-Nice, PMD (U.S), Les Nubians ,Bams, 113, 9 D’or (France), Positive Black Soul, Abass, Alif (West Africa), Metaphysics (Zimbabwe), Curse (Germany), Shaanan Streett, Sagol 59, System Ali, G-Town (Israel / Palestinian Authority)
The Furious Force Of Rhymes
The film will be broadcasted this week on ARTE. Check the the official website or the Facebook page for festival screening dates, event details and more information.
THE FURIOUS FORCE OF RHYMES had its festival premiere in August 2010 at the Locarno International Film Festival. It is currently touring film festivals worldwide with official release dates yet to be announced.
