Stations of the Elevated (1979)

Not a documentary, but simply pictures of subway cars rolling on the elevated tracks of the South Bronx in the mid 70s.
Some rare footage of some rarely seen pieces running mixed in with footage of life in the South Bronx during its darkest hour socially, but it was filmed during the end of NYC's first wave of the hip hop culture.
Remember while watching this film, bboying had already been invented, making music using breaks had already been done, graffiti had been going for almost 10 years and rap music was in full swing. All this in 1979, and yet the rest of the world had never heard of spiining on your back, painting using aerosol cans, spinning 2 copies of the same record to make new music and rhyming over them using upto 6 differnt mc's.

This is history.
