Hiphop might very well be the first cultural movement in history that was globalized almost as soon as it appeared. By the early '80s, London, Tokyo and Paris had thriving hiphop scenes, and by the late '90s, every major city on earth had contact and exchanges with the four elements of hiphop—rapping, scratching, graffiti, and breaking. Planet B-Boy is about the history and current worldwide popularity of the fourth element, breaking. The documentary, directed by Benson Lee, is packed with great interviews with major founding figures of the art and recent footage from international breakdance competitions. The documentary was made with the love and care that the art of breakdancing deserves.
