Open Mics

In the middle of the global financial crisis, hip hop is one of the few musical movements flourishing in Greece. A constantly-growing number of talented young people tackle contemporary political and social issues more and more, through powerful and scathing rhymes – it’s their way of criticizing the established norms, the disguised oppression and the injustice all over. The influence of hip hop on Greek society and its widespread appeal to the younger generations is now obvious and refuels the young rappers’ inspiration, self-deprecation and talent. “Open Mics” is a documentary for these musicians.
