Black Soil Film Festival presents the European premiere tour of It Was All a Dream, a new documentary by Dream Hampton, produced by Emir Lewis about the dawn of hip-hop’s golden era in 1993. The screenings will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker.
Constructed from Hampton’s personal archive, It Was All a Dream is a visual memoir reflecting on the dawn of hip-hop’s golden era. It offers viewers an intimate glimpse inside the studio with some of rap’s most iconic figures, including Hampton’s neighbor The Notorious B.I.G., Wu-Tang Clan’s Method Man, Mobb Deep, Snoop Dogg, and many more. Through narration drawn from her previous work, Hampton provides insight into this transformative period in hip-hop and solidifies her place in its history.
