Bouncing Cats is the inspiring story of one man’s attempt to create a better life for the children of Uganda using the unlikely tool of hip-hop with a focus on breakdance. In 2006, Abraham “Abramz” Tekya, a Ugandan b-boy and AIDS orphan, created Breakdance Project Uganda (B.P.U.). The dream was to establish a free workshop that would empower, rehabilitate and heal the community by teaching youth about b-boy culture. Bouncing Cats follows Abramz, Crazy Legs and B.P.U. on a journey to use hip-hop culture for positive social change. The film features narration by Common and interviews with Will.I.Am and K’Naan.










I think it’s great when Heartland shows movies such as this and am adding it to my list. It reminds me of past Heartland movies that I’ve seen that are about using art or music to lift kids up and empower them.
