On the Circuit: Jackie Reem Salloum and Abeer (Slingshot Hip Hop)
It took director Jackie Reem Salloum over five years to shoot and edit on her own in Final Cut Pro the over seven hundred hours of footage necessary to complete Slingshot Hip Hop, a documentary about the alternative resistance to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict found in young Palestinian hip hop groups. Accompanied by solo artist Abeer, Jackie talks with Zoom In's Megan Cunningham about the inspiration and message behind the music of groups like DAM, PR, and Arapeyet and how many youths draw inspiration from African-American rappers in regards to themes of being chastised as strangers within their own homes.
