Bouncing Cats is the inspiring story of one man’s attempt to create a better life for the children of Uganda using the unlikely tool of hip-hop with a focus on breakdance. In 2006, Abraham “Abramz” Tekya, a Ugandan b-boy and AIDS orphan, created Breakdance Project Uganda (B.P.U.). The dream was to establish a free workshop that would empower, rehabilitate and heal the community by teaching youth about b-boy culture. Bouncing Cats follows Abramz, Crazy Legs and B.P.U. on a journey to use hip-hop culture for positive social change. The film features narration by Common and interviews with Will.I.Am and K’Naan.
