Left Fields (2011)
A documentary dealing with the struggle of independent hip hop artists to gain ground in the music business in 2011. Featuring interviews with MCs, label operators, producers and bookers, the film focuses on a range of genre-defying international artists such as Ceschi, Noah23, Babel Fishh, Th’ Mole, Gonjasufi, Robot Koch, Comfort Fit, Fulgeance, Oskar Ohlson, and more, many of whom collaborate within networks across the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Working with a very limited budget, the film attempts to provide an insight into the alternative hip hop scene, exploring the creative spirit and DIY punk attitude of the movement.

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
