“Flex Is Kings” is a documentary about street dance set in East New York, a highly impoverished community in Brooklyn. Despite the high crime rates, a large and growing group of young men are resisting gang life to pioneer a form of narrative dance that tells the story of their streets. Their self organized dance battle competitions involve mock gun battles as well as dream-inspired flights of fancy. The film—shot over 2 years and over 300 hours of footage—tells the story of this art form—called “Flexing”— and focuses on some of its key personalities.
