Inside the Circle [DVD]

Capturing the raw power and defiant creativity of a home-grown hip-hop movement, the award-winning documentary INSIDE THE CIRCLE follows talented Texas b-boys Josh and Omar, former best friends turned rivals. As Josh tangles repeatedly with the law, Omar rises to international renown over the objections of his traditional Mexican-American father. Both b-boys struggle to keep dance at the center of their lives, and the B-Boy City competitive events thrown by visionary street dancer Romeo Navarro serve as emotional milestones in their journey to adulthood. As Romeo aptly says, if you can hold yourself down in a battle, you can hold yourself down in life.
