Recognizing the ‘struggle’ of people worldwide and the influence that hip hop has on that struggle, we would like to make sure you are aware and have a chance to win a copy of a new DVD that hits the streets March 13^th.

Favela Rising documents a man and a movement, a city divided and a favela (Brazilian squatter settlement) united. Haunted by the murders of his family and many of his friends, Anderson Sá is a former drug-trafficker who turns social revolutionary in Rio de Janeiro’s most feared slum. Through hip-hop music, the hip hop and rap rhythms of the street, and Afro-Brazilian dance he rallies his community to counteract the violent oppression enforced by teenage drug armies and sustained by corrupt police.
