Inside the Circle

Come to a screening of a documentary at 4-Star with director and cast.

Capturing the defiant creativity of a home-grown hip-hop movement, the award-winning documentary INSIDE THE CIRCLE follows talented b-boys Josh and Omar, former best friends turned rivals. As Josh tangles repeatedly with the law, Omar rises to international renown over the objections of his traditional Mexican-American father. Both b-boys struggle to keep dance at the center of their lives, and the "B-Boy City" competitive events thrown by visionary street dancer Romeo Navarro serve as emotional milestones in their journey to adulthood. As Romeo aptly observes: "If you can hold yourself down in battle, you can hold yourself down in life."

Ain't It Cool News says,
"Amazingly good... FIND THIS MOVIE AND WATCH IT!"

The Baltimore Sun says,
"An absorbing documentary that not only features the most sizzling breakdancing to be seen on the big or small screen, but also does the only lucid job I've yet encountered of explaining the aesthetic of this street art without diluting its power."
