Hill’s parents were revolutionists who were involved in the Black Power movement. The film features interviews with a variety of individuals such as Ta-Nehisi Coates and Imani Perry who, like Hill, grew up children of revolutionist parents. Their narratives detailed reflections on their relationships with their parents and their understanding of the historic movement as it unfolded in their homes and public America. Born in the Struggle also sheds light on the significance of hip-hop in American history and its correlation with the Black Power movement.
