In Cuba, you get teenagers and 20-somethings sharing $2 quarts of rum and riffing on themes from U.S. imperialism to Eminem's "I'm Shady." Filmmakers explore the scene, leading up to the National Hip-Hop Festival. Independent for years, the festival was co-opted in 2003 by a state institution and now the lines have been drawn, throwing artists, producers, and fans into heated debate on being an artist in Cuba today.

This short documentary is essential viewing for anyone interested in rap music, free speech issues or the youth culture of contemporary Cuba.

They clearly don't come from anywhere. They come from a Cuba as confused and contradictory as they are.
