Underground Hip Hop in China is an insider documentary following the nascent musical revolution on the other side of the globe.

Chinese hip hop is a free form of creative self-expression emerging among those struggling the most: young working class students and grassroots migrants left out of the country’s meteoric rise. In hip hop, many millennials have found a voice and vehicle for expressing the frustration, anger, hopes, and dreams of a generation grappling with their place in the new China. Yet the movement is challenged by enemies posing a threat to hip hop s musical existence: state censors, on the one hand, and state-backed pop stars seeking to steal the name of hip hop for their own gain. Will underground Chinese hip hop survive?
