Bodied

In this biting satire, a progressive graduate student named Adam Merkin becomes an accidental battle rapper, plunging into the merciless world of competitive rap battles. As he climbs the ranks, he faces backlash from his academic friends and his girlfriend Maya, who sees the culture as sexist and racist. Adam's success breeds outrage, and he must confront the cost of free speech and the true meaning of artistic expression. Will he find a way to reconcile his passion for rap with his values, or will he lose everything he holds dear? Bodied is a wild, thought-provoking ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
