The film is about Dre Urhahn and Jeroen Koolhaas, who use art in their quest to help change the lives of people who live in socially troubled neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro and Philadelphia.
In 2006, the Dutch artist duo Haas&Hahn started deaveloping the idea of creating community-driven art interventions in Brazil. Their efforts yielded two murals which were painted in Vila Cruzeiro, Rio’s most notorious slum, in collaboration with local youth. The artworks received worldwide coverage and have become points of pride in the community and throughout Rio.
This is the first in a series of documentaries about the beautiful minds who ‘Challenge the Obvious’ every day.
