“Warring Factions” Breakdancing Documentary
Posted on March 19, 2009In his film Warring Factions, American born Iranian breakdancer and filmmaker Justin Mashouf travels to Iran to find and battle breakers from his motherland. In addition to breaking, he also documents the growing tension between the US and Iran and even finds himself detained by Homeland Security on his way back into the country. Here’s a synopsis from the website:
“As forces in American government and media have fueled the perception of an unavoidable war with Iran, Warring Factions is a call to (dis)arms. An American-born Iranian breakdancer finds cultural awakening by exploring his multi-ethnic roots. Faced with dual nationality in two conflicting countries, he travels to Iran to examine the political issues first-hand while exploring his cultural identity with a group of Iranian b-boys. By combining documentary and studio reenactments, Warring Factions looks at the blurring of world borders, and the looming threat of another war in the Middle East.”
You can find more info on the film and showings on the film’s website.
