Rize (2005)

Documentary about the "clowning" dance style (and its spin-offs) in the South Central area in Los Angeles.

I can't really assess objectively its value as a film, but a documentary has always some information value, doesn't it? Anyway it is not a must-see, unless you are personally involved somehow. I was concerned, however, by the way these kids (and some of them are really small kids) are possibly giving themselves some spine damage on account of the velocity and type of the movements they make, but this is not a professional opinion, since I am not a medical doctor, so I probably should just keep my mouth shut.
