TRAPPED IN THE CITY OF THOUSENDS

2019

Cannes award winning director, video artist and photographer David Verbeek filmed the Chinese Trap (hip hop), a new phenomenon that has taken the internet by storm, yet is simultaneously censored. This 20 minute video guides you through one night in Chongqing, one of China’s biggest cities, and shows you a rhythmic and dangerous inside view of a lively underground of trap music where young Chinese try to express their artistic resistance against the lack of freedom.
