STAND
Description
Through Krump, one dance crew takes a stand against the poverty and crime plaguing South Los Angeles.
Full of stomps, jabs, and something called ‘the get-off”, Krump is a cathartic release of emotion. It’s a dance form that is aggressive and loud, but can also be an intimate portrait of individual struggle. As an alternative to the rough streets of Los Angeles, a Krump group, Demolition Crew offers the youth a safe haven to express themselves. STAND follows one of the crew’s leaders, ‘Krucial the Liberator’, a 24-year old South Los Angeles born and bred Krumper, as she uses her love of Krump to build a safer community in an area known for its history of violence.
