.Film Documents Oakland Hip-Hop Therapy Program

For her next project, Gawryn decided she wanted to do something similar, but in a longer format and focusing on youth. In her research, she came across the program Beats, Rhymes & Life, a hip-hop therapy program based out of Oakland High School. It turned out to be a perfect match.
