Rap Behind Bars (2012)

The film follows the first talent contest rap competition held at the juvenile prison in Tököl, from the preparations and rehearsals to the competition itself. How can a juvenile prisoner showcase their talent? Rap and hip-hop are popular in prisons around the world, and the subculture that has developed has its own hierarchy, sign system, and language; rap is the language of prison. How does that sound in Hungarian? The participants in the 2010 competition have all been released by now, and many of them have fulfilled their childhood dreams and plans. However, some have not been so lucky: Krisztián Nádasdi was murdered shortly after his release.
