Screening at International House in Philadelphia, Tuesday May 4, 7:00 p.m..

The Revival gives a candid glimpse into the first meeting of legendary Hip-Hop pioneer Roxanne Shante and veteran Philly emcee Bahamadia, as they trade stories of their struggles and triumphs in the industry over their long careers. It shows the exchange of lessons between them and up-and-coming artists DJ Shortee (Los Angeles), Eternia (Toronto), Stacy Epps (Atlanta), and Invincible (Detroit). This short documentary, a collage of performances and behind the scenes footage, was filmed by Invincible while on the road in Europe as part of We-B Girlz all women independent Hip-Hop tour. The largest all female Hip-Hop tour of its kind, We-B Girlz spanned over three weeks, six countries, and featured dozens of female artists who performed for tens of thousands of supporters. The Revival was produced by EMERGENCE and Iqaa the Olivetone. This will be the Philadelphia Premiere.

Black Lily’s Planet Rock is a series of independent film screenings examining the global impact of hip hop culture as a source of empowerment utilizing the innovative energy of the art form to engage in cross cultural dialogue and social change.
