The documentary, shot in Australia, takes a look at the growth of the genre in the traditionally hostile environment in the country. The multi-talented Maretlwanneng, who holds a BA degree in film and television studies, said the night of the premier was an important one for hip-hop. It can be safely assumed that the film industry is the young man's first love, as he suspended his involvement in karate to focus on film-making; and he recently worked on the set of the No 1 Detective Agency movie.
The film features a number of artists of African descent trying to make a breakthrough in a foreign land, which is not easily receptive of the black culture. Featured artists include Price, Chapter One, D-Money, Dust, Josh, Gemstone, Fela B, In Dreams, Ras Christian and others. In the interviews conducted in the documentary, artists like Ras Christian, from Jamaica, lamented how they were trying to fit into mainstream society. The Jamaican talked of how he as a person from a reggae background was trying to blend reggae with hip-hop to come up with something entirely new. He also mentioned how Dylan Marley, the son of the popular late reggae superstar Bob Marley, did the same and succeeded in the music industry. It came out in the documentary that black people, more especially those involved in hip-hop, were viewed with suspicion most of the time.
