Film summary: Christopher Woon, a.k.a. PaperSon, debuts in his first documentary feature, revealing a story of unity and affirmation between generations of Hmong explored through the intersection of rugged urban b-boyin’ (breakdancing) and the traditional roots of Hmong culture. Among B-Boys unveils a story of the modern and the traditional actually affirming each other, visually weaving between the older generation’s memory of ethnicity and war and the younger generation’s toprocks, footwork, freezes and power-moves.
