Netflix’s Strong Black Lead debuts, Dark City Beneath the Beat, a musical documentary that reimagines the narrative of the city of Baltimore through its unique sound and dance known as Baltimore club music.
The one minute trailer begins with, “Growing up in Baltimore is crazy. People die young here. People get misguided very fast too.” It is followed by a musical performance by one man in the documentary chanting about why Baltimore natives turn to the streets to dance. He’s joined by several dancers, and a montage of local community-goers from all walks of life in the city of Baltimore.
The film is directed by TT The Artist and produced by Issa Rae.
