A feature-length documentary following a group of young Moroccan Hip Hop artists pursuing their dream of staging Morocco’s first ever Hip Hop Festival. The film documents their struggle to overcome the strong resistance they meet up with, as well as their initiative in raising the necessary funds to achieve their, seemingly impossible, goal. Viewers are taken on a journey where they get acquainted with the self-motivated Hip Hop artists on a personal level.
