Back in June 2011 we blogged about the award winning documentary "Bouncing Cats", which tells the inspiring story of Ugandan b-boy Abraham "Abramz" Tekya and his attempts to create a better life for the children of Uganda using the unlikely tool of hip-hop with a focus on b-boy culture and breakdance. Now, about two years later, the film got already aired on television in the US, was screened at various festivals and events worldwide and is now also available online. Enjoy!

Kudos to Australian filmmaker, photographer and director of the documentary, Nabil Elderkin, for making the film available online, as well as to Crazy Legs of the Rock Steady Crew and, of course, to Abramz, the founder of Breakdance Project Uganda (BPU), and all the international guests appearing in "Bouncing Cats".

"Bouncing Cats" - empowering Uganda's youth with breakdancing
The award winning documentary "Bouncing Cats" tells the inspiring story of Ugandan b-boy and A.I.D.S. orphan Abraham "Abramz" Tekya who attempts to create a better life for the children of Uganda using the unlikely tool of hip-hop with a focus on b-boy culture and breakdance. To make his dream come true Abramz founded the Breakdance Project Uganda (B.P.U.) and established free workshops to empower, rehabilitate, and heal the community by teaching youth about b-boy culture.
It seems that "Bouncing Cats" is currently not available on DVD, but you can check their website or their facebook page for future screenings.
