About:
A documentary look at "krumping," a dance-form emanating from the streets of South Central Los Angeles, with movements including quick syncopated body gyrations fast enough to warrant a disclaimer that the film was not sped up. It centers around "Tommy the Clown," and focuses on the form of an expression as a positive alternative to the stereotypical hip-hop images and criminal pursuits.
