Kids in Osaka, Paris, Seoul and Las Vegas are all doing it-B-boying, breakin', bustin' moves you've gotta see to believe! Planet B-Boy features insane dance performances, unforgettable power moves, impossible synchronization and sweet choreography. The film tracks the evolution of a street dance turned universal art form, culminating in an international showdown. B-boy crews from 18 different countries face-off in Germany at the annual "Battle of the Year" World Championships, eager to reprazent. Behind the dancers' infectious energy and mad skillz lie personal stories that inspire and drive them: an American dancer struggles for a break, a Korean son seeks his father's approval, a 12-year-old French boy confronts his family's racism and a Japanese B-boy pays tribute to his dead father. All of the dancers struggle to be understood by their families and society at large. The globalization of hip-hop culture is here-r u ready?
