8 Bar – The Evolution of Grime (2021)
Against a backdrop of austerity, riots and institutional racism, Grime became the defining sound of an era. Ewen Spencer’s exhilarating film is told through Grime’s grass-roots originators, from major players like Dizzee Rascal, to unsung heroes such as DJ Slimzee, along with behind-the-scenes operators who propelled, and continue to drive, the music’s relentless 140BPM heartbeat. 8 Bar shines a light on an untold history, bringing a cultural art-form the recognition it deserves and highlighting the impact of these Black British artists on contemporary music, fashion and popular culture.

That was an excellent one.
I'll tell you why so serious
Good start, but then it gets ruined
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
