Estilo Hip Hop is a 2009 documentary film directed by Loira Limbal and Vee Bravo and distributed by IndiePix Films. It chronicles the lives of three rappers/political activists - Eli Efi of Brazil, Guerrillero Okulto of Chile and Magia of Cuba - and how they attempt to use their music to reach out to the youth of their respective countries.[1] Estilo Hip Hop is currently being aired as part of the PBS series Global Voices,[2] and has had live screenings in select theaters in California and New York.[3] The documentary will be released on DVD on June 22, 2010, and is currently available on both Amazon and iTunes.[3]
