Multi award-winning Independent filmmaker, Bob Bryan took his camera on the road (in search of Hip-Hop) to the Heartland of America. Bryan was invited to document a historic four (4) day Hip-Hop Summer Workshop conducted at Metro High School, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa which resulted in GV5. What emerges is a portrait of the educational value and liberating therapeutic power contained within the unique elements of the contemporary Hip-hop movement. Turntablism, Break-dancing, MC'ing and Graffiti Art are the four Hip-Hop elements used in what Bryan sees as a multifaceted communications modality and dynamic educational learning system.
Continuing the documentary film series, GRAFFITI VERITE 5 examines the close connections between graffiti and other art forms in the larger hip-hop culture. Director Bob Bryan travels to the Hip-Hop Summer Workshop to document the events there, and discovers a close connection between the expressive forms of DJing, breakdancing, rapping, and graffiti art. Through an exploration of these forms of expression, Bryan demonstrates how they have become a positive force in the lives of many people despite demonization by much of the mainstream.
