Founding Fathers is a propelling documentary about the DJ’s that created a platform for Hip Hop music and its humble beginnings within New York City. This film is instrumental because it refutes the popular philosophy that Hip Hop began in the Bronx.
Founding Fathers delivers history of the core roots of this popular music as it plays out on the streets, parks and nightclubs in the late 60’s/early 70’s. The film captures uncanny footage of a time far removed from today. Directors Ron Lawrence and Hassan Pore take an amazing journey through the boroughs rediscovering DJ’s with massive sound systems.
