People look at us and they see the stereotype, "they're this, they're that…they're scumbags”. You’ve got to show them how good you are, you’ve got to whip out a tune that they couldn't write in their dreams." Git. This documentary explores how artistic expression can allow us to see beyond the facts of someone’s past and into their soul. Git, Costello and Willa are street poets, hip-hop artists and songwriters from north Dublin. For these young men self-expression in the form of poetry, rap and song has become a spiritual experience. Their aim is simply to articulate the chaos that surrounds them and to fight it with their words and voices alone.
