Hip Hop is Bigger than the Occupation is a documentary about a ten day
journey of artists traveling through Palestine, teaching and performing
nonviolent resistance through the arts. The tour included M1 of Dead Prez,
Shadia Mansour, Marcel Cartier, Mazzi of Soul Purpose, DJ Vega Benetton,
Lowkey, Jody McIntyre and Trinidad, Brandon and Lavie from the South West
Youth Collaborative/University of Hip Hop Chicago.
Staying in the heart of Balata Refugee Camp at the Yafa Cultural Center in
Nablus the group witnesses night raids, toured places like Hebron where
there are roads for the Arabs and roads for the Jews, they meet families of
shaheeds as well as young Palestinians who have been jailed, shot and
humiliated. The group visits Bi’lin where they get shot at and tear gassed
and experience first hand what it felt like living under occupation.
