Bruk Out!

“As seen in other documentaries highlighting dance-based subcultures (like 1990’s Paris Is Burning
and 2005’s Rize), the competition narrative arc works well in terms of building up to a climax. But
McKenna’s film, which was about 60 percent shot before its Kickstarter campaign launched on
October 14, aims to tell the stories of its leading ladies outside of this competitive framework as well.
As McKenna tells me, each queen has a different reason for committing herself to dancehall, “but the
core of it is just total acceptance.” – FlavorWire
