If anyone is in Toronto, HotDocs is ongoing and a friend of mine has a really amazing flick about the context of the U.S. prison system (there are no shots inside of prisons). Two more screenings this Thursday and Saturday. http://boxoffice.hotdocs.ca/WebSales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=50909
Oh yeah, we finally got Netflix a few months back and watched it with the quickness. Super well done. Super infuriating. I actually vaguely remember the news reports on this from several years ago... must have been one of the appeals as I remember the article expressing disbelief about what a clusterf*ck the case had been.
I was super hyped when I finally got the chance to watch this! I was not disappointed at all! I like how their story was balanced with the music of that time and all the freestyles they were able to get on record. As with any era it comes to an end at some point. Stretch and Bobitto grew apart and the music started to change with the times. But at least they were able to make amends years later and hopefully they can do another project like the radio show again.
