Eminem’s highly movie ‘Bodied’, is scheduled to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival today.
The movie – a rap movie directed by Joseph Kahn – is based on race relations and a white graduate student’s experience of the battle rap world, sparking the topic for his thesis statement. The movie stars Austin & Ally‘s Calum Worthy, MAD TV‘s Debra Wilson, The Breakfast Club star Anthony Micheal Hall and Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club personality Charlamagne Tha God.
Kahn believes that battle rap is the last “safe space” for free speech and Bodied will push the envelope when it comes to topics that are deemed too sensitive in today’s society. “I want to do a treatise on the way the world exists today,” Kahn told The Globe and Mail. “Right now, the thing that is consuming the world, specifically North American culture, is race relations. And how you live in a world of multiculturalism and where are the spaces you can talk about things and not talk about things.”
