Check out the trailer for 'Wu-Tang Clan of Mics and Men' documentary

If I asked you to think of a name that is synonymous with hip hop, the name on your lips would probably be Wu Tang Clan. Those guys have been untouchable in the world of hip hop since the mid 90’s so I’m wondering why it took so darn look to release a documentary about them. Better late than never I guess!
The four part documentary is called Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men and will feature never before seen interviews and footage from everyone involved in their journey. Here’s the official synopsis:
Quote:Throughout the history of hip-hop, no single group changed the game in the same way the Wu-Tang Clan did. In the early ’90s, a group of young rappers from Staten Island and Brooklyn joined forces to escape the poverty, violence, and oppression of their neighbourhoods through music. Hot off the success of their single “Protect Ya Neck,” RZA, GZA, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, Raekwon da Chef, and Masta Killa “formed like Voltron” to release Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), a seminal album that redefined a genre and forever changed the economics of the industry.
The real story of the Clan unfurls here, with never-before-seen footage and interviews recounting the obstacles traversed to stay united as one Wu family. Director Sacha Jenkins (Fresh Dressed, 2015 Sundance Film Festival) poignantly captures their struggles and triumphs in intimate detail, creating a group portrait that transcends music and delves into broader themes of race, economic strife, and brotherhood while weaving their distinctly raw and resonant sound throughout.

Damn, this looks epic! The first episodes are premiering at Sundance Film Festival next weekend and hopefully Netflix will pick it up shortly after. Fingers crossed!
