Sonic Cinema presents the UK Premiere of: Jamel Shabazz Street Photographer + Q&A with Charlie Ahearn
A documentary on Jamel Shabazz, who captured the budding, 80s hip-hop scene in New York in his photography.
Sonic Cinema is excited to present the UK premiere of this documentary from celebrated hip-hop historian and director, Charlie Ahearn. As a teenage photographer in early 80s Brooklyn, Jamel Shabazz set out to document the then nascent hip-hop movement.
Ahearn takes us on a modern day and very personal journey with Shabazz as he revisits old neighbourhoods and talks to friends and colleagues about life in New York, hip-hop culture and its 30 year history.
