Rip It Up!

About This Movie

Rip It Up! is a provocative documentary that dives deep into the implications of the resident card system, a mechanism in place since 1968. It really critiques how this system, often seen as just bureaucratic, is actually a tool of state control. The use of fingerprinting stands out as a chilling focal point, revealing a lot about personal freedoms—or the lack thereof. There's a rawness to the presentation, almost a sense of urgency in the pacing that makes you think. It doesn't hold back on the emotional weight of the subject matter, and you can feel the tension in the air as various viewpoints clash. The interviews are striking, and the way it stitches together personal stories with broader commentary creates a compelling narrative.
