BBoy Planet

My friend just sent this to me thinking it would interest me since I used to be a Bboy back in the day. Since I'm not in as good of shape as I was in high school, I live vicariously through the videos of others that I find on youtube.

PLANET B-BOY...I CAN'T WAIT to watch this movie!



Synopsis
With compelling characters and vibrant sequences, PLANET B-BOY is set in the International world of B-boying – the urban dance more commonly known as "breakdancing."
Weaving between the vivid backdrops of Osaka, Paris, Seoul, and Las Vegas, unforgettable images frame the intimate stories of dancers who struggle for their dreams despite being misunderstood by larger society and even their own families.
An American dancer in Vegas looks for his big break; a Korean son seeks his father's approval; a twelve-year-old boy in France confronts his family's racism – all the b-boys' lives collide in Germany where their skills are put to the ultimate test; the "Battle of the Year" finals, with crews from 18 nations vying for the title of World Champion.
PLANET B-BOY features electrifying dance performances and astonishing displays of power and grace, showing how a street dance from New York has evolved into an inspiring art form for a new generation around the world.
