In Media Res Hip Hop Week - Kyouki no Sakura 

Selections from Sonoda Kenji's "Kyouki no Sakura," or Madness in Bloom, Japan's greatest hip hop film, and one of the world's. It's an exciting and spectacular movie, but also subtly represents the tensions surrounding cultural globalization - the simultaneous attraction to foreign things and desire to maintain one's own identity.
Soundtrack by King Gidra.
