THE origins of one of the most potent musical movements of all time are explored in fascinating depth in this 2001 documentary by Doug Pray.
From the South Bronx in the 1970s to present day San Francisco, the film traces the development of the hip-hop DJ, with archive footage and insightful contributions from some of its best-known exponents, including Afrika Bambaataa, seen inventing scratching in his kitchen.
If beats, breaks and the infinite possibilities of vinyl are your thing - or even if you just want to find out a bit more about the history behind this lasting musical revolution - this is the film for you.
