Counting Headz: South Africa's Sistaz in Hip Hop
50 minutes. 2006 Vusi Magubane & Erin Offer
Counting Headz reveals the struggles and victories of South Africa's women from the perspectives of three major performers in South Africa's hip-hop scene.
MC Chi asks if there's a contradiction of values between African and hip-hop cultures, and if it's possible to reconcile the two. Her questions thread together the obstacles encountered by fellow sistaz. DJ Sistamatic, challenged by a distorted media portrayal of her persona, candidly addresses the influence of male-formed images of women. World-renowned graffiti artist Smirk finds a way beyond her family's initial misgivings about her art and prepares to merge a life with hip-hop and motherhood.
After the film, you are invited to participate in a panel discussion and party with some of the best DC Female Emcees (RaTheMC, Carolyn Malachi, Porche' 9-11 ) on the Hip Hop Scene and DJ Earth1ne!
