Documentary: Zembla - De dood van een rapper. (Vara, January 3, 2010)

Documentary: Zembla - De dood van een rapper.  (Vara, January 3, 2010)

Last month Zembla broadcasted a documentary about the relation between (local) rap music and the gun violence in Amsterdam Southeast.
A young mc was shot at the playground close to my studio in the late summer of 2009. I wrote about it on this blog around the time it happened. The incident left a big impact on the whole community around the K-zone. The local hip hop community was hurt, and won't be the same. This documentary focusses on the incident and in what way the hip hop community reacted.

Most of the art work around the area shown in the documentary is done by me and Azhq between 2006 and 2009.

The documentary is in dutch language.
