The Revival (Europe, 2009, 17 min).
Directed by Invincible.
Produced by EMERGENCE Media and Iqaa the Olivetone.

The Revival gives a candid glimpse into the first meeting of legendary Hip-Hop pioneer Roxanne Shante and veteran Philly emcee Bahamadia, as they trade stories of their struggles and triumphs in the industry over their long careers. It shows the exchange of lessons between them and up-and-coming artists DJ Shortee, Eternia, Stacy Epps, and Invincible. This short documentary, a collage of performances and behind the scenes footage, was filmed by Invincible while on the road in Europe as part of We-B Girlz all women independent Hip-Hop tour. The largest all female Hip-Hop tour of its kind, it spanned over three weeks, six countries, and featured dozens of female artists who performed for tens of thousands of supporters.

Produced by EMERGENCE Media: EMERGENCEmusic.net

Co-presented by TheFembassy.com which features follow-up interviews with the artists from the film.

Shout Outs to: Manuu the Transporter, Shania D, Chela Simone, Mauikai, EJ, Stef the Chef, That Fucking Sarah, Karin and Submerge, Yarah Bravo, everyone who rocked the UNITY stage, the organizers of We B Girlz, and everyone who performed or presented at the We B Girlz festival.

A special thanks to all the promoters who brought us out, and all the supporters who attended the shows, bought merch, and showed love!!!

    Well this was great.

    One of the things that I found fustrating was why the hell was the tour in Europe? It would have been great to have been able to support this tour in the states.

    I wished there were interviews with the other females on the tour besides Bahamadia and Roxanne Shante. They, of course were dope, but there should have been more sound bites from the others.

    As an avid hip-hopper I am grateful that someone had a camera and decided to do something with their footage. The femcee is never glorified. And they should be. Film is a powerful medium to expose greatness. It's also a great way to expose the bullsh**ters who try to cover-up the greatness. Thanks for exposing the greatness.
