Breaking, HipHop, Alien Ness, Dance - Children of the Zulu Kings, Directed by Chantel Simpson.
Breaking’s Olympic debut in 2024 sparked global conversation, but for NYC-based director Chantel Simpson, it was a moment to reflect on the art form’s roots. In the short film, Children of the Zulu Kings, Simpson spotlights breaking pioneer Alien Ness, a key figure in the culture’s evolution from the Bronx to the world stage.
With striking black-and-white cinematography and raw storytelling, the film is both a tribute and a reminder - breaking is more than a sport; it’s a revolutionary movement.

    This guy talks complete sense without using fancy words. There are many people like him who have sharp minds who come from a poor background who see the reality of life but lack that special something and being in the right place at the right time like Gary who won't become rich and won't have a voice that is heard. Gary is unusual in that he's been allowed into an alternative universe but has chosen not to become associated with it. I am nowhere near as financially successful as Gary but I started out like him, have much in common, have done alright for myself by using my intelligence but rejected the alternative universe that I too could have remained a part of. Why? Because I know good from evil , I have a conscience, I have a good moral compass and I know thzt money doesn't make you happy, but lack of money sure makes life hard and most likely unhappy. I want for a better world, and I know that inequality and division are two powerful forces driving a worse world. Unfortunztely many humans who get rich don't have empathy for their fellow people. Well, actually, they do have empathy for people like them and other rich people, but they now behave as though people not in their environment are sub human, responsible for their situation. Unfortunately, these people have the power to rule over us, keep us down, and ensure they remain in control by buying their kids into fancy education, into their social network and siphoning money into their pockets. I hope Gary can continue to shed light on what really is going on. I suspect he'll be shunned by MSM and the wider establishment because he's not one of them. There will be other financially successful people like Gary, but few are interested in trying to change the system because they realise it is pretty futile and will ultimately hurt them. Until ordinary people see through the BS and resist, we are screwed . I'll do the best I can to help my children, but even they think I'm some form of cynical conspiracy theorist because what I say is so alien to the brainwashing they've been subjected to all of their life and I wasn't able to counter that BS as they were growing up because I was too busy making money and I was never good at influencing people who don't share my vision of the world. It is upsetting and frustrating not being able to get my own children to see the light. Such is the power of celebrity and the distractions of modern life, social media, and so on. The big tech tyrants have captured the minds of the masses quite brilliantly, but also in a very evil way.

    A lot of consideration went into the cinematography, preproduction and postproduction. Unfortunately, the concept of having the participants use brain wave devices to make a collaborative smiley face painting is way out of touch with the progressive voices of the disability community. Dependency on others is stressed (charity model) rather than true empowerment.
