November 30 , 2006 - ROCK THE BELLS IN LONDON

Rock The Bells continues to rock Euope. Here's a pic from the London ResFest screening.

"I will go out on a limb and say this is one of the best Hip Hop films I have ever seen. It's right up there with Style Wars, Beat Street and Wildstyle and a must see for any true Hip Hop fan. Exposing the trials and tribulations of bringing a dream to life it speaks to the heart of each and every one of us. If you never see another film this year make this your swan song."
