Last night marked the start of the 40th annual Sundance Film Festival, and it is putting on all kinds of programming to commemorate the fest's history, like a 4K restoration of Napoleon Dynamite, which premiered in Park City 20 years ago.
This year's Sundance has a number of films that look at the nexus between music and politics, and this is one of the more intriguing titles among them. Director J.M. Harper's film follows Bronx hip-hop artist Kemba as he explores how rap lyrics are used as evidence in criminal cases, a subject with a long but little-known history.
