Bouncing Cats

The dream was to create a workshop teaching kids about b-boy culture, break-dancing and Hip Hop in Northern Uganda, considered one of the most dangerous places to be a child. In the South children face the threat of poverty and disease. In the North, brutal mindless war - dividing families, and displacing millions, the fear of abduction and mutilation always looming. This film follows one man's attempt to create a better life for the children of Uganda using the unlikely tool of hip-hop culture with the focus on break-dancing. In 2006, Abrahmz Tekya, an aids orphan, created Break-dance Project Uganda, or B.P.U., teaches three times a week to more than 300 children from all parts of the city Kampala. Many are homeless, and few can afford proper schooling, yet they walk miles to attend the classes. Written by Newport Beach Film Festival
