Midway: The Story of Chicago Hip-Hop is a feature-length documentary film and archival project that tells the story of the evolution, struggles and triumphs of hip-hop culture and its community of artists and personalities in Chicago.
Midway’s goal is to educate and make a cultural impact on Chicago and beyond by informing the audience on the unique story of hip-hop in the country’s third-largest city. Digging deeper than most stories of similar topic, Midway looks to reverse the general negative stereotypes of hip-hop culture to show how it brought people from all walks of life together – regardless of race, gang affiliation or socioeconomic background while introducing audiences to many talented, often overlooked artists – musicians, graffiti artists, dancers, graphic designers, photographers and more.
