    Desc: Lyrics Revolt: Directed by Shannon Farhoud, Melanie Fridgant, Rana Khaled, Ashlene Ramadan. Music and politics often go hand in hand and as pro-democracy revolutions spread throughout the Arab world, one sound in particular is echoing the hopes, dreams, frustrations of the people. Arab Hip-Hop, once relegated to the sidelines, has emerged as the soundtrack of the resistance. To capture this transformative time in one of the most dynamic regions of the world, Torath Production created a documentary that features the leading Arab hip-hop musicians around the world. It looks at the role Arab Hip-Hop plays in this game-changing moment for the Middle East. At the same time, such universal themes as the role of women in music and cultural clashes between conservative and secular artists will also be explored as each musician shares his/her story.
