We are proud to announce that BTG 2007 will screen Byron Hurt's acclaimed documenary "Beyond Beats and Rhymes," the seering film about masculinity and hip hop that has had heads talking everywhere. Check it out and weigh in:


as PBS says "a personal and heartfelt documentary that goes beyond the bling to explore gender roles in hip-hop and rap music through the lens of filmmaker Byron Hurt, a former college quarterback-turned-activist. In this "loving critique" from a self-proclaimed "hip-hop head," Hurt tackles issues of masculinity, sexism, violence and homophobia in today's hip-hop culture by talking with rappers, moguls and fans."
