VIDEO: Bouncing Cats — The Story Of Breakdance Project Uganda

August 19, 2015

The 2010 documentary "Bouncing Cats" tells the story of Breakdance Project Uganda (BPU). BPU is a nonprofit founded by Abraham "Abramz" Tekya, a break-dancer and AIDS orphan. BPU utilizes break-dancing and hip-hop to promote social change and social responsibility. The nonprofit achieves this by "bringing together people from different social, economical, educational, tribal, and religious backgrounds" through dance. Based in Kampala, Uganda, BPU offers free break-dancing classes and gives lessons in juvenile prisons, local schools, community centers, and orphanages.
