“The culture of hip hop and rap is at its most powerful and yet its most tender in Slingshot Hip Hop” - Chuck D, Public Enemy

“Engaging look at a fascinating Arab subculture” - Variety

“Profoundly uplifting… It’s a refreshing take on the conflict” - NOW Toronto

Sundance Film Festival Official Selection and winner of five audience awards, Slingshot Hip Hop braids together the stories of young Palestinians living in Gaza, the West Bank and inside Israel as they discover Hip Hop and employ it as a tool to surmount divisions imposed by occupation and poverty. From internal checkpoints and Separation Walls to gender norms and generational differences, this is the story of young people crossing the borders that separate them.

Narrated by Suhell Nafar of DAM. Directed by Jackie Reem Salloum.
