Description

This film documents the real stories of Japanese dancehall dancers who are pioneering a growing subculture movement in Japan. In a country where people are often judged for their differences, we see what it means to each dancer to be part of an inclusive movement both on a personal level and for the country as a whole. From the streets to the subway to the dance floor, the cultural tensions are captured beautifully on-screen, as is the empowered, artful escape that happens with every dutty wine and beat drop.
