• Bram Van Splunteren s Big Fun In The Big Town | DVD | (21/05/2012) from £12.89   |  Saving you £2.10 (14.00%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Filmed in New York City in 1986, ‘Big Fun in the Big Town’ chronicles the emerging cultural movement called “hip-hop”, through the lens of an upstart Dutch filmmaker named Bram Van Splunteren. Armed with nothing more than a camera crew and vague understanding of the English language, Van Splunteren’s fearless excursion into the world of American hip hop led him to the gritty landscapes of Harlem, South Bronx, and the Lower East Side during the peak years of the 1980s crack epidemic. Putting his own personal safety at risk, Van Splunteren’s travelled to remote locations in neighborhoods where no foreigners or outsiders were normally allowed. There he managed to capture the essence of that time and place, while also managing to attain interviews and footage with rap heavyweights and emerging artists many now refer to as legends. The amazing scenes contained herein will blow the minds of any self respecting fan of rap music; a 17 year old LL Cool J greeting Van Splunteren from the door step of his grandmother’s apartment (where he still lived), the Mystery Crew out of Chicago who happened to be trying to snag a meeting with Russell Simmons outside the small first offices of Def Jam on the same day Van Splunteren happened to be interviewing him, DMC freestyling to and unreleased beat on the cassette deck of his brand new and first Cadillac, a still skinny Biz Markie beatboxing for Roxanne Shante on stage – Van Splunteren managed to capture so many incredible moments in hip hop history and really encapsulated the era perfectly. Amazingly, the film that captured the New York rap scene during its most vital moments never received a proper debut in the city until almost 25 years after it premiered.. And now, Five Day Weekend has secured the rights to issue this documentary for the first time ever to American audiences in a physical format. Big Fun In The Big Town is a must own documentary for any true rap historian, and a window into a time and place many of us can now only learn about through study. Travel back to where it all began and relive the inspiring struggle of hip hop music all over again. Features interviews and appearances with: MC Shan, Grandmaster Flash, Roxanne Shante, Biz Markie, Doug E Fresh, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl, CBS Crew, Mystery Crew, Run DMC, The Last Poets, Schoolly D and many more.

  The men who dictated the outcome of the bloodiest war in history. World War II impacted the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world, yet it was the decisions of a few powerful leaders that arguably shaped the outcome of the bloodiest war in history. From Hitler, who was responsible for initiating the conflict; to Churchill, the man who took Britain to war as Nazi forces started to take Europe by force; Hitler’s close ally Mussolini; and Roosevelt, who brought America into the war in 1941, we look back at the men whose decisions meant the difference between life and death for millions of innocent civilians. Archive footage that has rarely been seen in the past 70 years, expert analysis and previously unseen footage shape an in-depth portrait of four men who perhaps did more to influence the path World War II took than any other. These are the Wartime Leaders of World War II.
