Today at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, PBS shared more about FIGHT THE POWER: HOW HIP HOP CHANGED THE WORLD. Produced in partnership with BBC Music, the four-part docuseries will premiere on January 31, 2023, on PBS (check local listings), PBS.org and the PBS Video app. Developed by Chuck D and his producing partner, Lorrie Boula, the series tells the story of hip hop as an organic expression of experience that was unapologetic, fierce and empowering as it spoke truth to power and informed a nation through a different lens.

Featuring firsthand accounts from some of rap’s most integral players, FIGHT THE POWER: HOW HIP HOP CHANGED THE WORLD recounts the origins of this bold and revolutionary art form through the voices of those who were there at the beginning, creating an anthology of how hip hop became a cultural phenomenon against the backdrop of American history. Weaving together interconnected moments via intimate interviews and archival footage, the docuseries will explore how hip hop quickly created a provocative narrative of America.
