Description

After winning an Audience Award at SXSW 2007 and screening to enthusiastic audiences around the world on a year-long fest tour, the acclaimed documentary INSIDE THE CIRCLE returns to Austin!

Capturing the raw power of a grassroots hip-hop movement, INSIDE THE CIRCLE tells the story of two strikingly talented Texas b-boys, Josh and Omar, former best friends who become rivals when they join competing dance crews. Immersed in the b-boy culture of defiant creativity, Omar rises to international renown while Josh tangles with the criminal justice system. Both of them struggle to keep dance at the center of their lives, and the "B-Boy City" competitive events thrown by visionary street dancer Romeo Navarro serve as emotional milestones in their journey to adulthood. As Romeo aptly observes: "If you can hold yourself down in battle, you can hold yourself down in life."
