Slingshot Hip Hop weaves together the stories of young Palestinians living in Gaza, and the West Bank, as they discover Hip Hop and employ it as a tool to overcome divisions imposed by occupation and poverty. From internal checkpoints and Separation Walls to gender norms and generational differences, this is the story of young people crossing the borders that separate them.
