Sookee

About This Movie

Sookee (2018) dives into the life of a queer-feminist rapper who isn't afraid to tackle tough issues like sexism and racism head-on in German hip hop. The documentary feels very personal, almost like sitting down with a friend who’s sharing their journey. There's an authenticity in Sookee's performances that really stands out, and the pacing feels honest; it doesn’t rush through the heavy topics but allows them to breathe. The visuals are raw, sometimes grainy, and that adds a layer of grit that complements her music. It’s remarkable how Sookee blends her activism with art, making it a distinctive piece in the documentary landscape. A fascinating watch for anyone interested in music's role in social movements.
