Netflix is set to release The Get Down on August 12. The story tells the ongoing saga of New York hip-hop, and shows the birth of the art form, while living on the brink of bankruptcy. The location of The Get Down is in New York City during 1977. This historic view of music is layered with drama, and chronicles the transition to hip-hop during the last days of disco. It is told through the lives, and expression from the South Bronx residents who would impact the music industry in grandmaster fashion. The film does display gun violence, which I am highly against in mainstream film
