The new documentary series Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World tells the story of hip-hop across four episodes. It looks at how it developed as a political tool for speaking truth to power, with first-hand accounts and interviews from some of the integral players in rap’s history, as well as archival footage. Through those that were there at the beginning, it deconstructs the origins of the art form and looks at how it became a cultural phenomenon in American history. The documentary series is developed by Chuck D and his producing partner Lorrie Boula. Read on for more on how to watch Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World without cable.
