Q1.
These three young men belong to ‘Hip-Hop’. This movement developed during the seventies in the USA, 
especially in the New York Bronx. It includes rap-songs, graffiti paintings as well as breakdance. For 
young boys and girls this movement is becoming more and more a kind of expression. They see it as a way 
to achieve something. Here they can express their longing for admiration, their desires and their 
disappointments. 
 
Q2.
For too many young people in the USA - especially those living in slums such as the New York Bronx - 
life seems to be without sense. “Only living people are able to cry. People murder people. A world without 
sense.” This is their reaction sung in a rap-song. 
Q3.
The film isn’t a copy of usual breakdance films. Belafonte shows more. He shows the life of youth in the 
Bronx and their thrilling joy of life. And he demonstrates breakdance in nearly acrobatic pictures. Little 
Lee, whose feet seem to be of gum when the rhythm of breakdancing not only as a means of earning some 
cents. For him it is more than just dancing. In it he expresses his disappointments and his longing for 
something better. 
Q4.
Those young people - Black and White - create a world of their own - a wild, crazy, colourful world, and 
the rhythm of their music is their pulsation. For a short time they forget the cruelty of daily life in a world 
without illusions and without pity. The film tries to seize light and darkness of that life.
