Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World (formerly known as The Story of Hip-Hop with Chuck D), developed by Chuck D and his manager Lorrie Boula, rewinds to the birth of hip-hop and traces its role in the story of America from the past 40 years, right up to the present day.
Featuring first-hand accounts from some of rap's most integral players, the series will deconstruct the origins of this bold and revolutionary art form through the voices of those who were there at the start, creating an anthology of how it became a cultural phenomenon against the backdrop of American history. Weaving together interconnected moments via intimate interviews and archival footage, this landmark series explores how hip-hop- from the beginning a provocative and sometimes controversial cultural force, even within the Black community- has been instrumental in giving voice and mobility to marginalized communities, helping confront social issues and driving change.
