Synopsis:
Hip Hop might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Taiwan but, after watching Hip Hop Nation, it will be.
All across the island, people of all ages are using hip hop music, rap, graffiti, fashion and street dance as inspiration to speak out, wear outrageous clothes and move their bodies in astonishing ways. A crew of skilled hip hop dancers from Taiwan travels to Los Angeles to perform on stage and battle American dancers in front of American audiences who will decide their fate with their applause. Taiwan comes home with the biggest prize of all? What is it? You be the judge.
