Documentary: Rave & resistance

This documentary takes you on a journey to the origins of the dance music scene in South Africa in the early '90s.br br The story of South Africa is a story of polarity, opposites and contradictions. The same can be said about the music. The early '90s marked a period of rapid change and social upheaval - apartheid was dying but the new South Africa had yet to be born. On both sides of the color line, artists and outsiders began looking for a new way to articulate this new identity. Within the township young black kids were finding a way to voice their experience in a way that has never been done before, while white people struggling with their privilege were looking at ways to connect with a world they had been seperated from. br br The two worlds would collide in abondoned buildings in the inner city and mega bashes in the townships. Their combined efforts would produce a sound that would help this country forge its identity and become significant across the world.
