This was so cool. Liked seeing the footage of the musicians and the locations, especially in the clubs. So interesting that the youth of the region has discovered this outlet. There were a few shots of urban refugee camps in Lebanon that I liked a lot because it showed the cheap building construction in the background (:30) with electrical cables and balconies in the distance. It also talks about the different styles of rap around the area, like in Syria it's a little less subversive.
Of course, this would be difficult for English speakers to learn about anywhere without it being translated, but this little view into their world is fascinating. I am interested about a new documentary mentioned in the piece, "Life from the BBC (Bourj-el Barajineh Camp)"directed by Jackson Allers so I will have to see whether I can find it online.
