For kids in the Bronx, life in the late 1970’s was rough. In addition to roaming street gangs recruiting the youth, kids also dealt with bombed-out buildings as their backdrop amongst other socio-political obstacles. Netflix’s The Get Down from Baz Luhrmann stars Scratch alumni Mamoudou Athie as Grandmaster Flash, chronicling the beginning of Hip Hop’s roots. You can also catch a character based on a young Grand Wizard Theodore, inventor of the scratch and regular Scratch NY guest instructor.
