Crossroads Tha Freestyle
In just three minutes the team behind a Loaded Docs proposal aim to tell the story of Kas Futialo, a.k.a. 'Tha Feelstyle', and the way he brings together traditional Samoan music and Western hip-hop. Kas Futialo raps in Samoan and English and has been making music since the late 1980s and the Crossroads team will accompany him back to Samoa next month for a big concert there. Loaded Docs challenge is to encapsulate big stories in short short films. At the moment this year's selected teams are trying to raise at least $2000 through crowdfunding on Boosted. Lynn Freeman spoke to the director of The Crossroads, musician and music video producer Sani Sagala and to Aaron Taouma who's producing this film.
