El primer documental largometraje de arte urbano y grafiti mexicano se rodó a lo largo de cuatro años sin ningún apoyo financiero de las instituciones. Está basado en la convivencia de la comunidad del hiphop y está libre en su expresión. El documental nos familiariza con el desarrollo del movimiento desde sus principios hasta hoy día con el enfoque a su esencia de rebeldía y resistencia. Se extiende también hacia las otras ramas del hiphop y el skateboarding mexicano. Presenta a las artes urbanas como un camino de libertad e independencia de un individuo, que está enfrentando el poder global del sistema capitalista y su intento de invadir nuestras vidas y nuestra manera de comportarnos. La película además apunta al rasgo característico de la contracultura mexicana en relación con la resistencia de las culturas nativas.

Karolína Alvarez es una documentalista independiente checa. Se licenció en Humanidades en la Universidad Carolina y en Arte Conceptual en la Academia de Arte, Diseño y Arquitectura de Praga. Después de la caída de la dictadura comunista en la Europa oriental empezó a viajar a los países con las culturas nativas vivas (Irlanda, Siberia, Himalayas, Amazonia, México). A partir de 2018 enfocó su atención a las culturas urbanas. Es promotora de los proyectos multidisciplinares que reúnen a las cuatro ramas del hiphop. Canta y toca la guitarra, lleva los talleres de la danza sufí, hace snowboarding y corre el maratón en las Barrancas del Cobre.

Ondřej Skala es un artista checo centrado principalmente en las bellas artes, el videoarte, el arte del espacio público y las performances. Es licenciado por la Academia de Arte, Diseño y Arquitectura de Praga. Comparte con su hermano Petr Skala el proyecto de música breakcore-ambient Jesús marcha hacia Berlin.
